Bump-like thing

---

i've had this bump-like thing on my penis for a few months now. hard to describe, but kinda like this pic from the "male anatomy" thread that's stickied:http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/slm-maa/slides/normvar/images/hel007.jpgthe pic isn't even meant to show what i'm talking about, but right there next to the dude's thumb, in the bottom-right corner, see what looks like a bump or bulge in the skin? it's kinda like that, but not all smooth and perfect looking. mine looks more like a sore with one edge of it kinda torn looking, like a scar or something. might be tho cause i've been trying to kinda stretch the skin on all sides to flatten it out. it's really noticeable.but i know i don't have any std or anything cause i'm a virgin. i actually think it's from masturbation but i don't do that like, more than average, maybe once a week or slightly more often.

The site where I got that pic said it was a cyst. I'm not clear on what it is that you are describing.

it's basically like that pic, but the thing is, about the front half of my penis (ie from halfway up from the base to the head) is wrinkly-like and so the bump is like that too - not a smooth bump, not really what i would consider a bump but it's just like a lump of skin that seems to have been wadded up into a little mass there. i mena it's not really a bump, just a gathering of skin in a small area that sticks out from the rest. that's why i thought it may be from masturbation - i dunno if my skin is supposed to look so wrinkly-like.

It's not a vein valve is it? They can get a bit swollen and look like a bump.

not sure what you mean by a vein "valve" but i'm sure it's not. it's just skin. i can pinch the whole thing and it's really super thing when you actually pinch it with your fingers. i dunno, made me think about how people put rubber bands on blisters or something to make em fall off... but, uh, no i think that'd hurt and i doubt it would work even if i could get a damn tiny rubber band on the thing... oh, and there is a vein on the right side of my penis that's kinda bulge-y, but nothing like this.

hmm, so anyone have any idea what i should do about it?

I think if it's not causing you any distress and it's not getting bigger you could just leave it alone. It might be a good idea to ask your doctor about it next time you happen to be there.
