Hard bump under skin of penis on shaft

HI,
I have recently noticed when i have an erection that i have a small Hard / bee bee size hard thing under the skin of my penis.  I can't tell what it is.  It doesnt really hurt however it seems to get irritated a little after working things up in that area.  Of course when things are not worked up, i have to search to find the hard spot, but can after looking for awhile.  I am in fear it may be a blood clot or something like that.   I have been married fro 15 years and don't have any sex with any other people and don't think is in any way an STD.  
Again, it is not painful, just freaks me out.  doesn't seem to be an infection either... im 39 years old.. just noticed it about a week ago.
please help.   Feels like a bee bee from an air gun when fully erect.. and it is not on the surface, definatley a bit under the skin...
thanks in advance for any help you can give
..oh yeah don't think you could even see it in a photo, it is 1/4 inch under the skin...

Hi
About two or three days ago I found a hard lump just a it bigger than a pea on my scrotum next to the penis shaft that hurts when touched or moved. Then about 4 hours ago I noticed a white head type thing on the lump. I didn't want to bother it so sat on the couch and watched tv. Sometime later I went to the toilet and noticed it had popped when I squeezed it quite a bit of blood and puss came out and while doing so it decreased in size but still hurts. I also noticed that my right testicle is larger than left, I don know what this means but I'm really scared!! Please help me!!!!

That is just a zit dude... A big one they call a carbunkle. Or a boil... NOTHING to worry about. It will go away...

And that your right testicle is bigger is normal. I have it too... It's just the dominant one.

Hi, I came across your comment and was wondering if you had gotten any answers.  I too have the same thing.

I am agreeing with your post. I have had 2 pea like cysts. I am certain they are cysts on the base of my penis but internally behind my scrotum. They don't move with the skin but I am concerned if they are part of an ED problem. The shaft will not get hard without medicine but I am able to ejaculate with a soft penis. I have sensation too.

Hello,
did you ever find out what it was or has it gone away with massaging? I have the same thing and can find no answers. Feels like 2 small peas on a string under the skin on the left side of the shaft, about an inch under the head. Please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It could be a swollen lymph node; this commonly happens when the lymph vessels are damaged during masturbation or sex. It is not serious, and it will go away by itself, but it never hurts to get checked out by a doctor. Have your husband use a penis health creme to reduce the effects of friction and maintain general penis health.
