What Does A Bump Over A Lesion On The Penile Shaft Indicate?
Hi, I have a bump on the shaft of my penis. It s not painful and it s the same color as my skin. The bump is only visible when I pull back the foreskin. However, there s a small cut visible when the skin is more extended. It s like the bump is covering the small lesion. There s also another lesion nearby, also visible when the skin gets more extended. This time, no bump, but it s like the skin is covering the cut as well. Do you know what it could be, and what should I do?
