Red Lump on base of penis
I’m 14 and I have a painless red pimple like lump on the base of my penis. I’m worried about it and I’m too embarrassed to tell my parents or a doctor. It’s fairly hard and doesn’t seem to have anything in it. I noticed it about 2 weeks ago and it was more of a pimple and I squeezed it and something came out but not a lot and it seemed a bad idea to do it again so I’ve just left it. It’s red, quite pearly and isn’t growing, it’s not causing any discomfort and isn’t causing me any problems. I shaved about a week before it started growing but it doesn’t like there is any ingrown hair and it looks similar to water warts from what I’ve seen. I’m very worried on what it could be and what I should do?
