Question : Small fleshy bump near the pee hole on the penis. When flaccid, it is virtually impossible to notice. When you squeeze the area or when erect, it is noticeable. It is not red or painful. There are no other bumps anywhere.

Brief Answer:
It may be visible sebaceous glands.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I can understand tour concern. As per your history, I think these bumps are visible sebaceous glands which are usually present in skin. As there are no hairs on shaft, it looks visible. So they are harmless and don't require any treatment. Let me know if you have itching, any penile discharge, fever? Kindly follow with details.

I'd suggest you to consult with dermatologist for detailed examination, if you have any of the above complaints. Treatment mainly depends upon underlying condition. Kindly follow if you have any query.
