Colorless string-like vein under the skin of penis shaft

by fatska, Mar 17, 2009 04:30AM
Just noticed an abnormal vein under the skin of the penile shaft. After some googling, I found that it could be a thrombosed lymphatic vein. It is painless, but is clearly visible whether it is erect or not, from the base of the shaft to about midway through.

However, I also have a cyst-like bump nearer the head of my penis. It has been there for many years. I saw a urologist once, and he suggested it was just a clot of oil underneath the skin. It has remained relatively harmless, but has grown slightly. Could these two things be related? Is there anything I can do to possibly help both the bump and the vein?

I have just done some more searching, and it sounds more like mondor's or superficial thrombophebletis. Sounds like this.

And more. I will be taking some anti-inflammatories tomorrow. I am just putting up this information because in the google age, this is a commonly searched for question with few answers. This may be because it is an under-reported condition, obviously.
