bump on penis
I always had a little bump on the right side of my penis at the base. Just recently is has gotten bigger and is significantly bigger. I dont know if I should pop it or go see a doctor. I've never had sex before so I know it is not an STD. It is flesh colored but little red and for the most part does not hurt.

See a doctor if really worried. It'll stop your anxiety & "cure."
If the bump is flesh colored and over a vein, it can be just a varicose vein (especially if you have varicose veins on other places on your body). Age is not a factor, from teens to older adults can get varicose veins on the penis or scrotum (and other places).
These type of varicose veins can range in size with most the size of a BB or smaller (or bigger). Inspect it closely. If it seems to follow or be "on top" of a vein, this is probably what you have. There is usually little to no pain associated with these type of varicose veins (scrotum varicose veins can cause pain).
No real medical treatment for it and not harmful to you or your partners.
See a doctor, though. You'll feel better and get better, regardless.
Take care.

Do not pop it, and go see a doctor. It might be an infected gland, but you need to see your doctor.
