Question : Hi, I have got a lump on the shaft of my penis for about 7years or so and every 2 years or so it gets bigger and sour and then it goes back to the same size as it was. Do you know what it is?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

To talk about a lump without seeing is not really a good approach. I will suggest that you visit your primary care physician and get this examined. Though it may not be something too concerning, getting the reassurance is worth it.

I wish you well and keep me posted.
