See answer: From your description, the most likely possibilities are either a dilated penile vein (varicose) or lymphatic vessel (lymphocele) which may either persist or resolve. Subcutaneous cysts are usually firm and round and Peyronie's plaque is firm/hard. Recommend evaluation by your doctor or a urologist for accurate confirmation and diagnosis if persists for peace of mind and discussion of Rx options.
