bump on base of shaft of penis under scrotum

[a555vvv]

i have a bump on base of the shaft of my penis under the scrotum. it is definitely on the shaft of the penis on the right side. it feels like the calcium bumps you get in your ear lobes sometimes. it is about the size of or a little smaller than bb. it tingles to the touch. sometimes touching it causes areas on the left side of my genitalia to tingle. it is not something like a pimple as i can get my fingers around it and it feels like an object, similar to the hard objects one gets in ones ear lobes with high calcium ingestion.

is this something to worry about? please note that i do not have health insurance so going to the doc really isn't an option.

Hey I have the same exact thing and wouldnt have noticed it if I didnt feel it one day...
How did you find out it was a ingrown hair? I feel it attached to my shaft under the skin about pebble size and no pain at all...Is this what you had? Because it seems to far away from where my hair grows being thats its attached to my shaft hidden by my sack...Please advise......

Apparently it was an ingrown hair. I was finally able to see the doctor.

Hello,
It can be a small cyst under the skin. Generally no treatment is required but they become painful then it means they are infected, Then surgical excision by traditional wide excision, minimal excision, and punch biopsy excision may be required.
You are advised to get an examination and FNAC done from a urologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

it's actually not attached to the skin at all. it is on the shaft that is covered by the skin. it is under the skin. and it doesn't hurt. it doesn't seem to be puss filled as a cyst would be. it's more like a very small pebble. it can't even be seen. i would never have noticed it if i hadn't felt it in there.

and it's definitely not an STD. (there has been no way for me to contract one)

Hello,
Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be rash due to friction rub, folliculitis, cyst, some benign tumor or genital warts(caused by HPV infection).

Apply warm compresses, Neosporin ointment and calamine lotion and avoid messing with it. You  can take anti-inflammatory pain killers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If the lump persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

i should add that it is under the skin and on the actual internal shaft of the penis. it does not hurt at all.
