: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. If the urine leaks from the hole, it would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably a urologist. Wish you good health!

It could be a pitted scar from your circumcision. It has to be examined before a definitive diagnosis can be made but does not sound swerious.

I'm a 24 year old circumcised male. I recently noticed a small bump on the underside of the shaft of my penis, about halfway down. It is about the size of a BB, doesn't hurt or itch, seems attached to the skin above, and is easily moved around.

I've noticed that from time to time the head of my penis starts to disappear under the skin of the shaft. I was circumcised at birth. It doesn't cause discomfort, but it's kind of weird. Is this a concern?
