Penis Lump Beneath Skin

Subject: Penis Lump Beneath Skin
Forum: The Urology Forum
I've noticed a small lump under the skin of my penis that stands
out particularly during erection. It's neither painful nor
bothersome in any other way, and, so long as it intends no harm,
I'm content to let it hang out. It feels like a hardened area of
tissue over which the skin may be moved freely and painlessly. I
have done some searching on this and other sites, and have found
similar descriptions which have prompted physicians to suggest
various things from Peyronie's Disease to Thrombosed veins or
perhaps benign cysts. Peyronie's seems to be found primarilly
on the upper or lower portion of the penis whereas this thing
of mine is on the left side. It's located on the inside of a
slight curvature in my penis, but the curve has always been there
without causing problems as it is very slight (It curves to the
left). I have come across the term "plaque" in association with
Peyronie's, but am not sure what it entails. Could you enlighten
me? It sounds like a good way to describe my new friend. As for
Thrombosed veins, I don't see this along the track of any vein
that I can see, but it does seem to grow harder with
erection. Touching it causes no irritation, and I've experienced
absolutely no ill side-effects. It does not seem to have
increased in size since its first appearence, and I can think of
no trauma that may have caused it. Its location is about midway
up the shaft and definately on the side. I've been sexually
active with one woman for the past six months, and have always
used a condom. And I'm 25 if that makes a difference.
Thanks.
