I have this thing on the upper side on the shaft of my penis. It is a little flap of skin, going width wise, that is pierced and then there are two tiny lumps on each side of the "piercing". I've had this for as long as I can remember and I was wondering if someone can shed some light on it.

Dude, I have no idea what you’re talking about. What flap of skin on your penis? The foreskin??I have several body piercing. The two little bumps sound like scar tissue that has built up where the piercing enters and exits. If this piercing has been ripped or injured the body tries to prevent the skin from tearing so it builds up as scar tissue to help prevent further injury to that area. We need some more information…. What type of piercing is it? Is it like a PA ? What is the type of material you are using for the piercing? How old is the piercing? .In general, genital piercings can be difficult to heal. The penis and scrotum expands and contracts which exerts stress on the entrances of the piercing. A scrotum piercing is easily irritated by perspiration, lack of air circulation, and friction against the wearer’s clothing, thighs and penis. Occasionally a ring or protrusion of soft, inflamed tissue will form around the entrances of the piercing. Keep the piercing as dry as possible and wear non-restrictive clothing that allows air circulation. Usually the inflamed tissue recedes as the piercing heals. If it stays inflamed for a long period time this tissue will become hard and lump like. And can be painful to the touch. Scar tissue will not recede once it is formed.

It is just skin of the shaft of my penis that looks like it's pierced. The thing is I, personaly, never went and got it pierced.

you mean that you have a hole in your foreskin or?

It's most likely a skin bridge as a result of a poor circumcision.
