Question : I have a small internal growth on either side of my penis, This developed in the last couple of months. I am 78 years old and in good health. The small knots are on the opposite side of each other and appear to be a small inlargement of a vain. Do you know what might cause this problem. It has not caused a problem with any of the fuctions regarding my penus. The knots are about 1/8" in dia.
Thanks for your help,

Brief Answer:
Apply antibiotic powder and consult you doctor for examination.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
It may be due to cyst formation. I think growth is due to hair follicle infection or simple cyst formation.
Please consult your surgeon for examination and treatment.
You can use antibiotic powder twice a day.
Keep the private part dry.
Maintain proper hygiene.
Wear cotton underwear only.
Hope these all will help you.
Have healthy life ahead.
Don't worry and take care...
