Hard bump under skin of penis on shaft

[Ebuddah]

HI,
I have recently noticed when i have an erection that i have a small Hard / bee bee size hard thing under the skin of my penis.  I can't tell what it is.  It doesnt really hurt however it seems to get irritated a little after working things up in that area.  Of course when things are not worked up, i have to search to find the hard spot, but can after looking for awhile.  I am in fear it may be a blood clot or something like that.   I have been married fro 15 years and don't have any sex with any other people and don't think is in any way an STD.  
Again, it is not painful, just freaks me out.  doesn't seem to be an infection either... im 39 years old.. just noticed it about a week ago.
please help.   Feels like a bee bee from an air gun when fully erect.. and it is not on the surface, definatley a bit under the skin...
thanks in advance for any help you can give
..oh yeah don't think you could even see it in a photo, it is 1/4 inch under the skin...

that sounds like what I have. It's located on the left under-side, about an inch from the head - where there are no hair follicles. It's REALLY prominent when I'm erect.  Before I got the hard "ball" shape - which is slightly smaller than a pea, I had a bulging vein (like a varicose vein) occasionally. Now it's a hard ball, but feels more like 2 balls connected by a wire:  like a old-fashoined dumbell  Anyhow, I will try your massage method to work it out.  Thanks for the tip.Gosjh, I guess I need to spend even more time with my penis...lol

I had the same thing it's gone now, here is how I got rid of it, but first let me explain a bit more About what it was. small white bump on my penis shaft about half an inch down from the head. When not erect you can move it with the skin. When erect it would be more noticeable. I when to the doctor, he took one look and said I had nothing to worry about. I asked him what it was and he didn't know but he knew it wasn't harmful. That alone is a peace of mine. So if you have something similar don't worry to much. I notice it appear after using coconut oil as lubricant when having sex or masturbating. Did any of u guys use something similar? A lotion perhaps? I did more research and it sounded like it could be a blocked sweat gland. I always use TEA TREE OIL for ingrown hair, pimples  and stuff like. I use TEA TREE oil on this bump as well, ones every time before a shower I notice a difference in size after a week after a month or two it was gone. Now it's like it was never even there.
Sorry if this is to long and to detail, I just wish someone would of told me and would of been as detail. I spent weeks freaking out about it and it turn out to be easily treatable.

Hope this helps some of you out there. Please write something if this works for you too.

i have the same concern .  it wasn't until this past weekend that i noticed a small lump.  ( i usually see those when i get an ingrown hair and i pull it out.)  i did it like normal and the puss and hair came out.  afer being intimate with my girlfriend since then i have noticed a hard lump becoming larger in that same area. i tried to pop it with a needle and squeeze it but nothing. and that really has me concerned now.  It doesn't hurt (only when i was trying to poke at it) and doesn't interfere with going to the rest room or with my girlfriend.  i just want it gone

I had the same little fleshy bump at the base of my shaft right above my scrotum, under the skin. It occasionally would release a tiny bit of white puss if squeezed. To me it almost looked like a tiny ulcer but it wasn't painful unless I squeezed it too much. After about a week of having noticed it and waiting with no resolution of its own, I basically cut it open to find out what exactly was inside. Turns out FOR ME IT WAS AN IN-GROWN HAIR APPROXIMATELY AN INCH LONG. There was some bleeding but ...I literally made a small incision on myself. Hope this helps!

There are so many comments, its hard to find answers. Hopefully someone can assist: I have found a very small, but hard lump just under my penis head, on the underside of the "lip" of the head? It is not on the skin, but the penis itself, it does not move at all. I am uncircumcised and suffer from phimosis (foreskin does not fully retract) so I can-not SEE it, only feel it. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Very possible that its a cyst, I have one in the middle of my shaft, appeared out of nowhere after doing a trim. Ive had a history of cysts dealing with hair and even had to have surgery twice to remove one above my buttocks. I had one on my scrotum that was there for years, harmless and then one day it blew up twice the size, I waited a few days and then did some crude home surgery with a needle and small trimming scissors, sterilized. You can't just squeeze and pop it like a zit, the cyst bag remains and simply refills. I had to actually remove it by hooking it with a needle and pulling it closer to the skin surface and then squeeze hard to get it to come out. The one on my penis though, no such luck. It's way deeper. If it doesn't go away, I'll probably have to go in and get a bunch of docs and nurses working on my penis, how fun.
