What Causes A Hard Lump Under The Opening Of Penis?

I am a 60 Year old male. I noticed about a month ago tubular lump/ hard spot on the inside of my penis just under the head of the penis on the right side about the 1/3-1/2 long . It did have some discomfort at first when I had intercourse but now there is now pain. I have no problem urinating or getting an erection& ejaculating. I did have cobalt radiation on my lower body when I was 10 years old for hodgkens disease. Do think this is something to worry about & have an urolugisty check out?
