Small bump on the head of my penis - what is it???

nh_user_1370095 · April 13, 2021, 9:08pm

I've had this small bump on the head of my penis for about 2 years. It doesn't feel like anything - no pain. Any ideas what it might be? I have been tested for Syphilis, HIV, Chlamydia & Gonorrhea, all of which were negative. I believe I do have HPV, as I get warts on my foot. I'm concerned it could be cancerous. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

i single bump like that is usually nothing to worry about
does it have a white head? or it that just the photo?

Hello, the bump itself looks to be more of a white-ish color

it appears you have some pearly papules around the edge, does it look similar to them?

This bump looks different. Attached are 2 more images

thanks, thats easier to see now, it hasn’t changed size or shape over that time?

Nope, it’s never changed. Still looks the same, totally painless

have you engaged in rough sex or had any trauma to the penis?

i don’t think its anything to worry about, but it never hurts to get things checked

No I haven’t. I’m concerned that it’s either a wart, some form of cancer, or another big disease, etc. If it’s harmless, that would be great

if it was a wart or cancer, it would have changed over that time
it could be just a harmless bump that we develop over time and as we get older we seem to get more and more
what age are you?

Good to know If it has changed any, it was such a small change it was unnoticeable. From what I can remember, it’s been there about 2 years or so. I’m in my mid 20’s

I don’t believe it to be anything insidious or an STD, almost looks like a little scar tissue or a mole. As mentioned, keep an eye on it for any changes in size or color (look up the ABCDE… of skin lesions) otherwise, it likely just benign.

Hello again, based on the information discussed previously, would you recommend seeing a Dermatologist MD or a Primary Care Physician or does it matter?

it never hurts to get things checked
men are bad at going to the doctors
if you can get into your doctor and take it from there. make it a part of an annual checkup
