Question 1

i have a small cyst right above my penis shaft. it feels like a small pebble when i grab it. is this dangerous ? do i need to remove it? no pain.

Accepted Answer

No pain: I am glad you have no pain but I think it a good idea to see your primary doctor about this.
All should go well.

Question 2

i have small lumps on my penis i think they are cysts can i remove them without seeing a doctor?

Accepted Answer

No: no do not attempt to drain, pop, excise, or poke with a needle--any lesion on the penis--the chance of a serious injury which could permanently injure your penis is too high.

Question 3

i have 2 small bumps on the underside of my penis that i think are sebaceous cysts. what is the best type of practice to visit to have them removed?

Accepted Answer

Plastic surgeon or: Urologist would be my suggestion.

Question 4

concerned about cyst-like bump on penis. noticed it about 6-8 weeks ago. it's located at the top of the shaft on the underside. when flaccid, it's rather firm, very small, no pain. but it gets rather large and stings/burns when erect. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Need examination: I would recommend you be examined by your doctor. It is difficult to diagnose on this platform as we cannot see your bump. There are many possible causes such as a cyst, which could be infected or not, a genital wart, a blocked gland in the skin, or others. Your doctor should be able to easily diagnose this with an examination.

Question 5

have solid lump/cyst/abscess of 4mm dia at end of penis, under skin right over d nerve. no pain. if pressed v. small pus comes. pls.help & suggest doc?

Accepted Answer

Penile lesion: You need to see the infectious disease doctor or std clinic where the proper lab tests are done. The specific diagnosis is made and appropriate treatment started. Please asap. Good luck.

Question 6

small lump at base of penis shaft, only noticeable when erect. had for 7 years. told sebaceous cyst or varicocele. its right where my pinky is if i grip it. does cancer present like this?

Accepted Answer

Not cancer: Test ulnar cancer would have grown and you would be very sick by now. Have it rechecked. Most likely a cyst or blocker hair follicle.

Question 7

can you get a cyst on your penis? how would you treat a cyst on your penis?

Accepted Answer

Sure: You can get a cyst on your penis. The treatment would depend on the diagnosis of the type of lesion/cyst it was.  Get it checked out, best wishes.

Question 8

i have pilar cysts on my penis. why is my penis so messed up?

Accepted Answer

Sorry to hear...: Unfortunately pilar or trichilemmal cysts can occur on the penis and cause considerable alarm and anxiety. It can be an inherited condition, and tends to present after puberty. The good news is they are almost always benign, and can be removed if they are overly large or ulcerate.

Question 9

how do you get rid of cysts on your penis...i'm very imbaressed that i have them.

Accepted Answer

Cysts on Penis: Given your age i would advise you to not wait but to get to your family doctor or pediatrician. Most likely these cysts are irritations and there is easy treatment to lessen their impact on you.  This is a common problem and easily managed.  You do not need to be embarrassed or suffer any longer. Let's get you to the doctor to figure this out.

Question 10

what do you do if you find a little lump on your penis?  could it be a little cyst?

Accepted Answer

Observe: If there is no pain, no increase in size and you have no reason to suspect why it is there, leave it alone and observe it for a while.  If it changes, causes pain, forms a blister, grows, bleeds, turns red or such, then get it checked out.
