Suggest Treatment For Hard Lump Under Foreskin

Hi, I have found a small hard lump under the skin that is under the foreskin. It has a whiteish coloration and when pressed it does move about a small amount, but is not painful. It is smooth to the touch. Obvious concern is if this is an STI... Thanks

Hello and thank you for the question1
The presence of lumps on the penis is a common condition seen in males. The majority cases of penis lumps are not pathological (not hamrful) and dont need specific treatment. Other types though are signs of an underlying pathologies that need proper treatment (like sexually transmited infections).
Hardbumps often go away on their own, without any medical procedure, others need to be removed surgically.
So the best thing to do in your case is to consult an Urologyst so he will be able to see directly the type of lump you have, and then can order the right type of exams/test to do for the specific diagnosis and treatment.
Best regards!
