What Causes Lump On The Tip Of Foreskin?

i have a lump that is the size of a pea on the very, very tip of my foreskin, this lump is moldable (i can flatten it, move it around a little, squeeze it) and does not hurt at all. I have had it ever since i can remember and used to think all males had it until i saw a picture of an uncircumcised penis at the age of 14 and was confused. When i get an erection and the foreskin slides down a little the lump/bump is then on the underside of my penis on the shaft about halfway down. The lump appears to be IN the foreskin, which is why i can move it around. It is really bugging me and im about to just poke a hole in it and see what happens when i squeeze it. My doctor doesnt totally know what it is but it definitely isnt harmful. He told me to just not worry about it but i really want it gone and i hate it. Im 16 and would like to know what this is and what my options are.

HI,Dear,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts and data of your query,you seem to have foreskin Sebaceous Cyst of prepucial skin glands./or could be a fibroma in healed boil/furucle of the prepuce.
FNAC Biopsy prior to surgery would confirm it.
Don't worry such tumors are benign and you have good chance of recovering after -Circumcission -a planned Surgical Procedure done under local anaesthesia ,done by Surgical Specialist or Urosurgeon.
Second opinion from your doctor on this would help you to plan treats in future.
Hope this would help you.
Welcome for any further query in this regard

Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.

Good Day!!
