What Does Nodes On Penis Imply?

Hi. I have a few small bee-bee shaped movable nodes under the skin of the shaft of my penis. I ve had it checked before and I ll be seeing a urologist on monday. No one seems to be worried about or can give me a solid way to get it removed. I understand it may not be a health risk but I don t want it on my penis!

Hello
Thanks for your query.

Based on the facts that you have posted I would say that you have multiple Sebaceous Cysts over shaft of the penis .

The penile skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.
Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.

If needed some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac).
