Subject: Penile Cancer Hello, I am scared that I may have penile cancer. I am not circumcised, and i'm 16 years old. I do not smoke. For many years I have had a lump in the side of my penis, clearly visible when erect. I now have 2 other lumps on the opposite side of the penis. They look like the size of a vein that you would find in a persons arm, they look too big to be veins in the penis. They do seem to have a purplish or blue color to them. The past few years I have been developing small lumps on the foreskin. I first thought they were from ingrown hair, but they are beggining to grow towards the end of the penis on the foreskin. They are the same color as skin, and some of them appear to have an indentation or a very small black bump in the center of them, which almost looks like a piece of hair sticking up. Please give me some advice, or some method to determine if I truly do have penile cancer. Should I seek a urologist or my family physician? I am very uncomfortable approaching a family member about this. Thanks! | |
