Question
Hi there, Im 15 years old and am slightly worried. When masturbated earlier today everything was fine, then about half hour later i had noticed i had gained a lump underneath and at the base of my penis. After masturbating i had noticed a white lump in that region and i tried to pop it but failed. I have learned not to do that after reading some of the posts on here. Your answer will be very welcomed!
Answer
Chances are good that you just irritated it and the lump will go away. If the lump does not go away in a few days, or gets larger or more painful, please call your doctor and be seen. Do not worry - they have seen everything before!
