Hello,
The spot on penis could be due to many reasons like angiofibromas, angiokeratomas, lichen planus, psoariasis or some benign skin growth. You should also maintain hygiene and try to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting cotton clothing. Also use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics.

If you notice changes in the mark’s color, height, size or shape, you should have a dermatologist evaluate it. You also should have it checked if it bleeds, oozes, itches, appear scaly, or become tender or painful.

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.

and that feeling usually goes away within a few seconds and sometimes i dont feel any thing for days but tight under garments usually makes it more.
also if use soap on penis i sometimes feel burning sensation at the tip afterwards for a few days. that is why i usually clean it with water

thanks for your answer
i just have to add a few things
the growth is not painful or solid , it feels like skin also its a little raised but not like a dome shaped
also i feel that pinching sensation and discomfort when i wear tight underwear
and the same feeling in another part of skin on penis but at that spot no such growth any idea what could cause that?
Also i went to see a doctor he said its a cyst and told me to use fucicort for 2 weeks but its still there :(
