Hi,

At times there are white small cysts in between penis and scrotum which can occur. Basically they are a collection of dead cells which should go off in few days.
you did not tell me about the color.

Do you see the lump every time you see your penis or does it occasionally move in also and you are unable to view it also.?
Are there any associated symptoms like fever, pain in urination, change in the urine's character?

Continue testicular examination and watch for any changes or persistence of the lump. Other swelling associated with testes can be hydrocele,hernia also.

If you feel stressed up then you may go for an ultrasound of testes.

Hi Doctor, This lump is formed under the skin( inner side of the skin). I can see only normal skin no specific colour change. I can find the lump always. If the scrotum is loose it is present in the lower base of the penis. If the scrotum is tight it is present in the top of the scrotum. In the tight case the lump is not clearly visible only if I give light pressure from the bottom side. No symptoms like fever, no pain in urination, no change in urine's character and colour. No pain in masturbation too. I am not married and 23 years old(No relationship). nearly one month I can see this lump. I can see No swelling. Occasionally I can feel like something is there in the spot. Is this a symptom of testicular cancer? If so is there any treatment for that cancer? I have penis curvature and from childhood both the testis are not same size. Is this any problem? How can I get rid of this lump? We can cure it in medicine or surgery is needed? How can I send the picture of this lump. And I don't understand that ultrasound testes.

Hi,

This should not be cancerous,however it can be confirmed only after examination and investigation that it is non cancerous but usually it should be cyst and you should keep examining it once in a while whether if it increases in size or sudden pain increases or there are changes in urine or sudden redness is there then it some thing to be concerned about
If you want to confirm then you may visit a surgeon and he will order for some investigation and that will confirm the diagnosis what exactly it is and then treated accordingly,right now it has to be just left like that without any much intervention if it is not disturbing you,and notice it for a few days.

Hi Doctor, Thanks for explaining me in detail. I observed that lump today. Like you said the lump moving in occasionally. It is not visible all the time. What symptom is this? If it is Cyst how it should be treated? What type of surgeon should i consult? What is the main cause of this cyst? Will this affect the reproductive system? My two follow up questions are over. Thanks in advance doctor.

Dr. Puneet Madan answered : 12 years ago

Hi,

Whatever i had told was according to what you told me intially that you can feel lump all the time,you have to show to a genral surgeon and to get your self examined.
1)Is it attached to some structure like some cord like or any testis ?

The cyst usually due to collection of necroses of tissue and and should go away by cells in a few days
But if it is a structure which is visible at times or felt at times then it can't be a cyst,it might be starting of hernia or tumor so kindly visit a general surgeon for examination and final treatment is usually surgical in this case and it should not affect the reproductive system.

I have what I thought was a bruise falring up a bit on my right chin / jaw line. I could feel the bump but could not remember being hit to cause such a decent size lump. My children often kick and hit me in the face in play. But to get this size lump would have been memorable unless at 39 my body now can't handle even a gentle bump. But it seems to now be getting slightly worse and is begining to feel numb and slightly itchy. I have a very mild middle bottom tooth infection. I thought if my gland was up it would be a lower / under my chin swelling which it is not under the chin but on and if anything above. I am visably looking like fred flintstone actor's chin on one side / elephant man slightly.

Doctor's Answer

Hi, If your swelling is on the same side as the tooth ache, it could be because of the existing tooth infection. To determine if the cause is the tooth or not, you need to visit a dentist and get a complete oral examination done specifically focusing on that particular side of the jaw. Preferably, get an x ray to see the tooth also. It could be a tooth infection leading into a space infection. Other reasons could be - cysts, trauma, bacterial infection like actinomycosis, abscess etc. This ca ...

Hi, I am really stressed and don't want to self diagnos and go crazy, but I have had this (pimple, ulcer, follicule infection or chancre on the side of the shaft of my penis. I don't know which one it is. I don't have medical but I am signing up on Tuesday for state medical..... The story is it appear maybe a week after a day and a half masterbation marathon I am embarrassed to say I had. It started as just a burning sensation on the side like I ripped the skin which I have done before. So I just didnt touch it.

We started and stopped. 3 days after that in the same burning area 1 pimple formed with maybe 2 smaller ones. Very small ones... I I tried to masterbate again and it seemed as if it irritated the area and another one grew. They got to an ok size and where kind of painful. Then they grew and seemed to bust and started to go down. They look some like a chancre or a lesion when it was going down. They itch a little bit I guess that's from healing but I am freaked out. I had unprotected sex with another woman maybe a month before the night I began the marathon. I have pics please help.

I've been noticing a lump on my upper left thigh. It started out small and red but grew over time. The red part is about the size of a dime now. But if I feel around the lump is feels like it has expanded underneath the skin. It's very hard. I thought it was an ingrown hair, so today I squeezed it. And small amount of blood came out but no hair. Now it looks darker red/purple.

My husband age 65 had to have his lower left wisdom tooth removed because there was a cavity on the tooth before the wisdom tooth. The original doctor only removed the tooth November 26, 2012, was given Norco for pain and recommended to take ibuprofen for pain. My husband had pain, and swelling. Original dentist packed the tooth with a special pack. Husband also applied clove oil. He talked to oral surgeons. Went to another surgeon and was given steroids, and antibiotics. My husband had dry socket and the hole was not closing up. So the new surgeon recommended a water pick and brushing the area vigorously to stimulate circulation. THe hole is closing up. Also, a root tip was found and had to be removed which added new pain. My husband is trying to not taking Norco anymore and trying to reduce ibuprofen. But pain level is 1-3 with twinges in jaw. It's been 8 wks. Is that normal? The original wisdom tooth had fused to the bone and had to be sawed in half to be removed. The cavity still hasn't been filled due to other pain.

Doctor's Answer

You have mentioned dry socket, the appropriate treatment for that is use of local antibiotics and systemic analgesics. Kindly get a radiograph done and ask your dentist to irrigate and flush the area before inserting the local medication. ...

42 yo female. I have an approx. pencil eraser sized lumped on my right tonsil that is flesh colored and in which I can see the veins in. There is a spot of white on the front of the lump I'm thinking could be bacteria. My concern with the lump is that it appears more as a hemroid would, a lump pushed through the skin wall, not as a lump sitting on the skin wall. I have used a q-tip to investigate the lump with no change. It is near the top of the side of my throat above the tonsil where the throat is starting to curve up. It is smooth all around this spot with only this lump coming down from the wall of my throat there, and the flesh color and veins match that of the smooth skin surrounding it.

Doctor's Answer

Hi, Try not to worry too much. There are many conditions associated with bulging neck veins, enlarged or swollen glands & lump or bulge. Tell us if you have history of smoking in past, sudden weight loss, bad breath, sore throat, hoarseness,fever or pain during swallowing. Most probably it is just an infection or tonsillolith(tonsil stone) and both of them are easily curable. We are here to help and support you through this. Feel free to ask further questions. ...
