I was circumsized as a child and i only just noticed this strange lump at the top of my shaft which seems to be like a small cracker... its hard and seems to be attatched to a small bump i've had since forever. someone suggested it could be a 'sperm ball' and not to pop it... it doesn't seem to hurt at all i'm just curious what it is and if its alright... its there when erect or not. i'll post a link to the pictures i took if thats okay

Welcome to A2A, davidaames. There's no such thing as a 'sperm ball', but odd lumps aren't uncommon. A lump that has been there forever could be a bit of scar tissue under the skin from the circumcision.
However, if I understand correctly, the main lump seems to be new. That might be a cyst, which isn't dangerous. However you'll need to rule out the possibility of a tumour, so you should get a doctor to look at it.

David,You didn't say very much about this thing. Does it hurt when your hard? Does it itch? Is it hard or soft to the touch? How long has it been there? Has it gotten bigger since you discovered it?I've been wondering about it for a few days now and then I remember my brother having something like that when we were kids. He was like 19 and I was 14 or so. . So, I called him and asked him about it..I gave him the links to your photos and he said he thought it looked was very similar to what he had. He said he had his for a few years and it gradually got bigger to the point he was very self conscious about the way it looked and became embarrassed by it and showed it to the doctor on an unrelated visit. The doctor said it was a skin cyst. A few days later, under local the cut it out and stitched him up and he said it never came back.He said to tell you make an appointment and have it looked at. If your a college student he said stop by the student clinic and have them check it out especially if you have noticed it getting bigger or it's painful..Good luck and let us know what happens with it

There's no point in dickin' around with this thing. Go to the doctor get it taken care of, whatever it may be, and don't worry about it anymore.

thanks for the input, i'm a bit afraid of seeing a doctor but if it gets any bigger i'll be sure to get a check up... its actually quite pleasant at the moment
