Hi,
A small bump on penis could be a molluscum, fordyce spot, sebaceous cyst, wart,boil, scabetic nodule( if itchy)etc. The diagnosis can only be confirmed by looking at the lesion.
For the same,I would request that you upload a clear resolution image of your bump. You may upload it by clicking on upload report/image icon which is on right side of query page. You may also send the pics to YYYY@YYYY and mention ATTN Dr Kalpana Pathak in subject line.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
