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...

After researching the hard bump just below the head of my penis I came to the conclusion it was sclerosing lymphangitisis.  I went to the drs and he confirmed it was.  It started as a hard bump. I didn't take the advice of letting it go away before engaging in sexual activity. It was a bad decision.  Now my penis is quite swollen and sore (not in a good way). My gland in my groin is also swollen and red.  I can not underline enough, LET IT HEAL. A hands off policy.  Or you will be in my position.  It will heal on its own.  A quicker heal 3 weeks or so if there is only a couple small bumps.  Since I ignored it and partook I now have to abstain for 6 weeks.  I was sent home from the drs with no meds as time is the healer.  He said if it is not better in 6 weeks I will have to go to a urology specialist.  So, don't ignore it, let it heal, and you will be back to your regular games in no time.

I've had similar symptoms as long as I can remember since puberty! I've had it looked at by 2 doctors, and they think its either from genital herpes which I have or something non harmful but no explanation given! I've always thought it was just veins. I heard from research on Internet that its a condition as well can't remember name but my Penis hangs to right side a bit and that's part of condition along with the bumps.

I had a pea size lump deep against the urethra then several more lower down the shaft but all solid and feel like theyre attached to the urethra ? if I get an errection they are bigger & can be painful , after seeing a GP he said it was scar tissue but it wasn't there before so this does not make sense ? now they are coming & going & my penis has a throbbing sensation not overly painful just noticeable it seems not even consultants know here in the UK & I have been celibate for 6 years and only 51 & been checked for any STD's so am at a loss.

Everyone chill the eff out. I've had this oval lump on my joint for 18 years. It used to freak me out but I know I'd be dead by now if it were serious. I banged a questionable honey then it reared it's ugly head. I've squeezed it so hard I almost passed out. Felt like I got kicked in the jewels, sick to my tummy and all that. It hasn't caused pain or discomfort unless messed with. Yeah I'm not into getting my goalie pulled or poked by a Dr so I let it go. So a short story long, my wife and I are untying the knot, and I don't want some sweet thing to run for cover, because it does get evident when Jr. gets wriled up. I should probably see a Dr to get it taken out correctly but I'm a diy guy so I'm thinkin I'll try an insulin rig to extract that mess and neosporin for healing first. If it includes a trip to the er I hope to get a cute nurse. It's funny that 99% of these posts are from concerned parties and nearly none with answers.
I'm not saying what your condition is the same as mine but if you have had it for some time with no symptoms it's probably that you punched the clown too hard or banged a bitty with no regard for the well being of your member. I have sweated about that damn lump thinkin it was gonna grow limbs at a point but I dont recommend my approach. Be safe with you self and others. When it comes to shuckin bubba slow and steady wins the race. A little astroglide don't hurt either. Love , peace and penile grease!

I have a hard lump about the size of a pee in the shaft of my penis, but its not visible. I have to squeeze my penis to feel it. Its almost like it is actually in my urinary track. I went to the hospital cause I thought it might be a kidney stone (I have had stones 6 times) but they did the tests and said that it wasn't a stone. They gave me an antibiotic.  Any thoughs
