Bruise ? trauma: Have you had any trauma? do you paly with your boyfriend? Have you fallen. I am not sure this is important but would be good to know the cause. sometimes a vein will rupture spontaneously. Time should resolve this problem.

I have a large-ish soft, fluid-filled bump on the underside of my penis when erect that burns and stings. However, it's much smaller when the penis is flaccid (much firmer, no pain when flaccid, clear-ish white). I'm negative on STI/STD. Any ideas?
