How To Get Rid Of A Pea Size Lump Under My Penis Foreskin?
19 years old, 5 foot 11, 12kg. I have a lump the size of a pea under the foreskin of my penis. The lump is quite hard and seems to look white underneath. I have had it for about a year and it has slowly grown in size. It has grown a bit bigger in the last few days. I have done some research and I think it is some kind of cyst, if it is how could i get rid of it? Thanks

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The swelling in the prepuce can be a collection of smegma and hence appearin white. You can stretch the skin over it and it may just pop out, clean the area and you will be fine.
If this is a well formed cyst, better to go for a formal excision of the cyst done by your Doctor / Surgeon.
I hope this answers your query.
