Penis lump: Various types of lumps or bumps can occur on the penis most of which are benign including cysts,pimples or other harmless growths. However genital warts caused by the human papilloma virus or ulcerated lesions which could be herpes or syphilis need treatment. This is why I recommend that a urologist or dermatologist examine you. This would also be very important if you're concerned about a STD

Lump: A "lump" near the genitalia can be many different conditions. Any growths need to be evaluated by a physician for an infectious source, benign lesion, or malignant lesion. Please have this evaluated by a physician in person once the COVID lockdown is over as determined by your local government.
