    Question

    hey, im uncircumcised and 16. i noticed a small lump with a vertical slit (hole) under the head of my penis. i am very worried about this because it causes pain when pulling the skin back over the head of my penis

    Answer

    I would recommend that you see your personal physician for an evaluation. It would not be normal to have a painful lump on your penis. I'm sorry I cannot tell you what it is at this time.
