Lump: Yes any lump on private part is serious, specially if is increasing in size, and need to be looked at by your doctor and will guide whether it needs biopsy, ultra sound, ct scan or not. Good luck.

Question 2

i have a lump on my clit that came up about 2 days ago and my private area has been really itchy and red raw what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Yeast infection? Allergy? Herpes? See a doctor and get it checked out. The sooner the better -- some problems, especially herpes, are harder to diagnose and treat the longer you wait. Since you're in the UK, an NHS GUM clinic would be an excellent choice for expert, confidential, lifestyle-sensitive care. Good luck!

Question 5

what grows as a lump on man's private part?

Accepted Answer

Simple vs serious: Our bodies always have things that grow and change. Skin, fat, muscle, lymph nodes,  bones, can change shape, get larger, more prominent due to many factors. The vast majority are not cancer but simply unusual growths like fatty tumors, cysts, skin tags, moles, etc.  Most cause no symptoms and can be watched.  If they cause symptoms or change colors, bleed, bruise or hurt, then see your doctor.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Different options: That area has a lot of things in it both in the skin and below it.  Sweat glands, hair follicles and skin cysts as well as lymph nodes, fatty tissue, vessels, tendons and other things.  Is the lump growing, inflamed, painful, painless, draining, recurrent or constant, moveable or fixed...?  Each of these (and many more) will provide your doc the answers as to what it is and what needs to be done.

Question 10

i have little lumps around my genital area a bit like pimples what is it really and what can i do to help get rid of them im male too?

Accepted Answer

Tough to say: Rashes and generally skin conditions such as "pimple like bumps" can not be diagnosed over the computer and a Clinical examination really needs to take place to properly diagnose you.  There are too many possible things they could be, so see the Doc and get a good Exam to get the proper diagnoses so the right Treatment can start, best wishes.
