Are Swollen, Hard And Sore Lump In Penile Area A Symptom Of Lymphocele?

Hi, I found a small ish red hard lump on the shaft of my penis yesterday. It is a little swollen and about 5mm across. It started of as only being red, but has now gotten a slightly yellow tip to it. It is not painful, just sore when I touch it.. feels irritating. I feel like it is probably a lymphocele, but I do not think they are usually painful, hence why I am contacting a doctor. It does not hurt when I urinate, or have an erection.

Hello,

You have not written if you are sexually active or not. However, commonly ingrown hair in the shaft, glans or base of the penis looks like small red bumps. If infected pus may come out causing pain, itchiness & irritation.

Treat the affected area with antibacterial ointment, avoid shaving or waxing the area until it gets healed. If you are sexually active, lump on the shaft can be genital warts (STI).

You are suggested to visit ER, get Urinalysis & STD tests done. You need may need antibiotics & antivirals. Get treated at the earliest. Avoid unprotected sex & multiple partners.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
