Black seed Under Penis Skin

Well ive noticed that right underneath the skin of the shaft of my penis I  had a black growth. I used a sterlized paper clip and got the growth out. It looks like a small black/brown seed. The skin that it was under is still open (I have cleaned the area well) and I can basically put the paperclip in the opening and out the other side of it. Basically the openings look like I could of had some type of piercing on the shaft of the penis but I have had no such piercing (it's just a example for a visual picture). It's not going through my entire penis just on the one side of the shaft. There is no pus or chain of these growths and I was just wondering if this was a normal occurance or if I should make haste in taking care of this. Any help on the matter would be appreciated.

Hello,
From the symptoms it can be collected sebum at the end of a hair follicle causing sebaceous cyst. A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac occurring just under the skin which contains a "pasty" or "cheesy" looking substance called keratin. It may appear black in color when infected and may also give a foul smell.

I suggest you to get an examination done from a dermatologist.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
