Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have gone through your query and I understand that you are concerned about something on foreskin of penis.
A lump is defined as something which is better felt than seen i.e is palpable with fingers.
I request you to kindly upload an Image in "Reports Section" so that I am able to guide you better.
Also let me know the duration since you noticed this issue? Are there any associated symptoms like pain? Or itching? Are you sexually active?
Regards

Hi Kakkar,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually recently I was reading a cancer related journal, some symptoms of penile cancer was mentioned there.and my question is the outcomes of that.
I am unable to remember the time since when the issue arrived but it is more than 1.5 or 2 years old.
no pain or itching is there, the sense is just equal to the other parts of the body.
I am unmarried but no issue about sex.
Again thanks!

Brief Answer:
Sebaceous cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Sebaceous cysts are usually asymptomatic. There is no pain Or itching and they can persist for years, gradually increasing in size.
Yellowish contents are usually secretions of sebaceous glands that line the wall of the cyst.
