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.

Bump-like thing
-
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.
