Swollen penis?

[Bangkokslim]

Hello,

I'm 35yrs old with a circumsized penis. Today I noticed that my penis was slightly sore and swollen
just behind the crown (bulbus ridge) of my penis. It feels and looks as if there is another crown or some sort of band has formed underneath and around the surface of the of outer foreskin. I masterbate regularly but have not has real sex in months. Will this go away....? No lesions are visible.

I would suggest an ultrasound to evaluate the anatomy to ensure there isn't any abnormality.  One consideration may be Peyronie's disease, which can manifest with plaques under the skin of the penis.  Again, an ultrasound can be done for further evaluation.  I would also suggest a urology referral.

Followup with your personal physician is essential.
