Lumps on genitals in men

Sometimes we look at our bodies in a new light, and notice things that we have never seen before, and we think they are not normal. This often happens with the genital area, partly because it is not easy to compare with other people. If you notice any new lumps or bumps, ask your doctor to check, or go to a genitourinary medicine clinic. This is because any lumps might actually be warts or other conditions, which should be treated.

Lumps and bumps on the penis that are normal

Pearly penile papules are small lumps, about 1–2 mm across. They look like pimples and are all roughly the same size and shape. They are in a row around the margin of the head of the penis, and can be seen when the foreskin is pulled back. In some men they are hardly visible at all, and in others they are quite noticeable. They usually develop in the teens. People often worry that they are warts or an infection, and pick or squeeze them. In fact they are perfectly normal tiny glands. Leave them alone!
 
Lymphocele. This is a hard swelling that suddenly appears after sexual intercourse or masturbation. It is usually on the shaft of the penis, near the foreskin. It is caused by temporary blockage of the lymphatic channels at the margin of the head of the penis. It will go away on its own, and there are no after-effects.

Lumps and bumps on the penis that are not normal

Genital warts are very common and are caused by a virus. More information about genital warts can be found in the genital infections section.
 
Molluscum (correct name molluscum contagiosum) are pinkish-white round lumps, each about 1–5 mm in diameter, which are caused by a virus. More in formation about molluscum can be found in the genital infections section.
 
Lichen nitidus consists of tiny, shiny, flat-topped, flesh-coloured pimples, which are difficult to distinguish from warts. The pimples are usually seen on the shaft of the penis and their cause is a mystery. They may remain the same for years, or may disappear of their own accord. They do not usually need any treatment.
 
Sores (ulcers) on the glans may be due to genital herpes, an infection caused by a virus, or less commonly the ulcer may be a special form of skin cancer. If an ulcer or ulcers develop, you should consult your doctor without too much delay.

Lumps on the scrotum that are normal

Chicken-skin scrotum. It is normal for the skin of the scrotum to look like the skin of a plucked chicken. This is because the hair follicles on the scrotum are quite far apart and prominent, while the hairs themselves may not be very obvious.
 
Sebaceous cysts are swollen, blocked grease glands that look like yellowish pimples. They often occur on the skin of the scrotum, and there may be a dozen or more. The skin contains millions of glands that make grease to keep the skin waterproof and in good condition. The openings of these glands easily become blocked, so they become distended with grease. For some reason, the skin of the scrotum seems particularly susceptible to this problem. They are harmless, but if they become infected (red and sore) or you do not like the look of them, a genitourinary clinic will be able to treat them.
 
Angiokeratoma of Fordyce are tiny, bright-red blood-blisters. They usually occur on the scrotum, and there may be lots of them. They are quite common in the late teens, and are normal. Their only problem is that they can be itchy, and may bleed if you scratch them.

Lumps and bumps on the scrotum that are not normal

Genital warts (see genital warts) are discussed in the section on genital infections.
 
Varicoceles are the result of swelling of the veins around the testis. They often feel like a ‘bag of worms’ and are more noticeable on standing. About 15% of men have a varicoele, usually on the left side.
 
Lump in the scrotum. A lump attached to the testicle may sometimes be felt through the skin of the scrotum. While many of these are harmless cysts, occasionally a lump may be due to the development of testis cancer. If you do find a lump in your scrotum you should consult your doctor who will usually refer you to a urologist. Most tumours of the testis are curable (that is, they do not come back), if removed early.

I've a lump on my penis about the size and shape of a corn grain on the left side of my penis, i've had this since i was about 12 and after 6 to 7 years it swells and comes off by itself, i went to the doctors and once had it removed but it grew back, the Doctors told it was some fatty tissue and there was nothing to worry about. i still have it and still dont understand what it is, but it doesnt hurt nor has it stopped from having babies its just annoying when girls ask what is that lump? anyone else experienced the same thing? i'd love to exchange pics to see if this affects anyone else or just me.

I have small pea sized red bumps that appear on my groin, penis, and pelvic area that hurt and are filled with pus. They last a really long time before they pop and go away (like a month) then after they pop they leave a scar which looks like a crater. what could this be?

Posted by Optional on 03/07/2010 at 07:05:09 pm

Hi, i have got white spots around the base of my penis and all over the scrotum. i noticed them sometime last year and they seem to not be going away. is there any idea on what these are? they are pretty worrying and embarrassing when it comes to girls.

Posted by Optional on 02/07/2010 at 03:10:13 am

Hi there. I have a lump at the top left side of my left testicle. I've had it about 10 years or so but it's slowly getting larger. It causes me a dull ache much of the time these days, which makes me aware of it and makes me worry about it. The urologist says it's a cyst and that it seems benign and that I should just leave it. The MRI showed that I might have a tumour in the middle of that testicle and the urologist says I should keep an eye on that one. I am due for another MRI in a few weeks to see if there's been any change. I am one shy anyway due to crypto orchidism and frankly I am terrified at the possibility of losing the other. The embarrassment and consequences for fertility impact negatively on my love life (now non-existent). La vie!

My left testicle is swollen and hard causing sharp shooting pains going up towards my left lower stomach. When I sit down to relax the pain starts easing up but as soon as I get up and start walking the pain increases, causing me to have to lean over with my hand on my lower left side. What can I do to ease the pain????

I have lumps on the glans that only appear when im erected. my glans has like a bumpy surface. it is also very red and the tip is swollen... what is it?

Posted by philipe on 03/06/2010 at 10:24:59 am

I got some sort of infection or something on the head of the penis. More precisely the head of my penis is red, the tip of it is swollen, when im erected i could see lumps on the surface of the head. I also have a really small black dot under the skin on the head of the penis. My testicles also hurt sometimes, but i don't know if it's because i started training again and my legs are getting a lot bigger. When I urinate though it doesn't hurt and i have no pus or liquid. I've went to the doctor and i got no stds (HIV, gono, clamedia, hip B). I also was given creams such as loprox and desonide, i was given antibiotics and nothing seems to work. it didn't get worst but its not getting better! this has been going on for 7months now and i'm really starting to freak out. p.s. it is not itchy.

Posted by amir on 03/06/2010 at 06:40:06 am

found a small a small round lump the size of a tiny bee-bee. I found it there a few months ago ,it causes no pain or discomfort and in fact it is hard for me to even find myself. The spot is on the sac and not near any of my tests. Thinking that perhaps it was a ingrown hair or zit I tried popping it to no avail! Any ideas what this may be?

Posted by cal on 02/06/2010 at 03:15:05 pm

Posted by Optional on 26/05/2010 at 06:56:45 am

Interesting this article doesn't include this, but the "chicken skin" effect may not be limited just to the scrotum, but may appear on the shaft of the penis as well (most commonly along the sides of the urethra). Hope this helped some of you...

Posted by Optional on 24/05/2010 at 01:18:46 pm

I have several (5)white lumps about the size of a pin head right at the end of my foreskin. They are not very soft and not sqeezable. They are gradually mutiplying and whilst not a hinderence to love making are somewhat worrying to my partner. From the pictures I have seen they are not Warts of Herpes. What can they be and how can I treat them? I am shy to go to a Doctor.

i have one small bump and 3 tiny bumps grouped together the dont itch and theve been here for a while on the shaft of my penis what could they be

Posted by Optional on 21/05/2010 at 12:22:15 pm

This still does not answer my question. I have numerous white lumps along the shaft of my penis as well as along my scrotum. These do not fit the characteristics of any of these and are clearly not normal. I'm worried they're herpes genitalis in that similar white bumps have appeared on my fingers yet they persist longer than herpes should.

Posted by Chris on 19/05/2010 at 12:36:44 am

I recently discovered a small hard lump on the side of the shaft of my penis. I first noticed it whilst erect but i can now feel it even when not erect. It is round in shape and about the size of a pea. I am married and have not slept with anyone other than my wife for years and this only appeared a few weeks ago. It is just below the helmet on the left hand side of the shaft. Please Help

My girlfriend is coming back from overseas soon and its going to be a little embarassing. How long does something like this last and what is it?

I have a "single white bump" on the head of my penis right above the shaft. It is not fluid filled though is hard(ish) and does not itch or hurt, and I don't know what it is. I spoke with a doctor he said its not an STD or anything to be worried about but didn't know what it was himself. I've had it for a few months now and its been on my mind lately. Anyone know what it is.

Posted by bumpyballs on 10/02/2010 at 07:18:00 am

guys some people get little white lumps anyway, i do. i've spoken to my doctor and local sexual health clinic about these and he told me that it is common. however if you have lumps on your balls that itch or are inflamed stop looking on sites like this for advice and go get it looked at by a proffessional. you could be passing something nasty onto your partner

hi, i have HUNDREDS of these little pimple like thins under the skin on my scrotum (ball sake). i have recently been able to get one out still in tacked, it was flattish, i could not pop the freaking thing, eavin with an extremely sharp object (don't worry it was sterilized) and i have a lot of them on my penise as well, and alot of them are just under the skin and able to be felt by anything, my 1st thaught was "oh shit i have a deases" the next "maby it will get a girl off better" the lumps are getting bigger and multiplying, i did shave my pubic hair a couple times, but they never were like this, i have pulled out the hair that are near the bumps as well as being in them, and no luck, it hurt like hell to pull the hair out because i think that the root of it gets caught on the bump. i am kind of scared' coz it is kinda my "junk" and its not plesent to have these masiv notasible bumps on it. your artical dose not help in any way or any reinsurence about this in this case, it may just be a suveir case, but i think it is somthing differnt

I have these really small, flat, flesh-colored objects that look to be inside my scrotum. They are very itchy, but not sore. There about 60 all grouped with each other on the base of my penis, and about 100 on my scrotum, the ones on the scrotum can really on be seen when the skin is pulled back. Please help, mom my thinks i am blowing it out of perportion and she refuses to take me to the doctor because she thinks there hairs.

I have something in the right side of my scrotum that is a rather large "lump", it is not a testicle. It has been there for awhile. It could be an enlarged bladder or Prostate, but I'm only 18, and am unsure if this large lump inside (I would almost say it's like a sack, it is sometimes there enlarged and sometimes is not there at all) is normal.

I have a skin growthabout 1.5" long between my scrotum and anus. I just noticed it last week it doesn't hurt but it gets a tingling sensation a lot of times, and feels like something is stuck in the crack. I don't know if this is anything to worry about.

I have been having a problem with genital warts for over a year now.i have been attending my local GU clinic and have had a series of various treatments such as Warticon,some kind of acid treatment and most recently a paint treatment. So far, nothing has worked. I am getting very frustrated and my penis more tender by the week after everything it has had done to it. I am seeing at the clinic again next week but do not have much hope . Any advice will be very useful. Thanks

Does a lump on the testicle feel soft, or hard? Is it easy to distinguish a lump on the testicle(that is, not confuse it with anything else)?

I had UTI 3 months ago. (Klebsiella, E. coli, E. aurieus), was put on medication till my urine pus level came down to about 10. Three weeks ago, I experience an itchy lump on my left scrotum.

Posted by Anonymous on 14/07/2009 at 01:47:00 pm

I have had this lump, about an inch in diameter, at the tip of my penis since i was a child. It wasn't always there but developed I think in my early years before i ever had sex but was only masturbating. It never itches, or causes me pain, and none of my sex partners have ever complained about anything, but I don't know what it is. Veins running along my shaft end in it. Could it have been caused by over-masturbating at a young age? What is it, and will it ever go away?

Posted by Anonymous on 10/07/2009 at 03:41:00 pm

none of these describe what i have....my bumps are the same color of my skin and appear at the top of my shaft closest to my bladder, i dont know what it is but i would like to know if someone could help me out...

Posted by PI_P on 08/07/2009 at 07:45:00 am

Ocassionally, I have 2 or 3 single pimple like dots on my shaft. As most, I try to squeeze ultimately causing an opening and scab. Never have I seen any pus. And usually, they appear about once a year at a time that I also get jock itch ... when weather is more humid than normal. Apart from seeing a Doctor, any idea's ?

Many small blood blister like bumps on my scrotum. Started getting them a few yrs ago, however they do not seem to go away. They have also multiplied greatly in those few years. They run the line of the veins on my scrotum. They do not hurt nor itch, but if popped bleed consistantly for a while. Any idea?
