I'm 16 and i have recently taken note to a problem ive seen. A while back i thought i needed circumsition but the docter told me i just needed to wash regualry as i was kind of afraid of pulling back the foreskin, and im still finding it difficult as the smegma just re-produces after i wash under my foreskin, it doesnt seem to go away.

My main query is i have a kind of lump on my penis and at first i though ahhh crap, ive got cancer or something. I then thought to myself, its probably nothing as it looked like a vain or something and i thought u could only get cancer in that part of a man if the lump was on his testicles sack.

But this morning when i was having a wash under my foreskin as the smegma was really bad, i pulled my foreskin back to the capacity and i noticed the lump was really noticable. It was slightly vainy but seemed bigger then when my foreskin wasnt pulled back. In all honesty, im scared, scared that i have cancer or soemthing. Now i know the obvious answer is to go to my docters but is there anyone that may know what this is before i book an appointment, is it normal? just a vain? and is there a way i can clean the smegma from my penis effectivly without the risk of it re-producing? thankyou

See a doctor. Yes I know it is embarrissing as hell but see a doctor.

You are young but cancer can happen at any age, it is unlikely but it doesn't hurt to be sure.

If you don't like your current doctor, get a second opinion.

But see a doctor. A vein as some suggest does NOT feel like a lump.

So go see a doctor.

Fairy_Lu agony auntOk sweetie dont panic it could be anything from an STI (if you are sexually active) to just a small cyst its very very unlikely to be cancer so dont freak yourself out so much you will only get yourself worked up into a panic, so just pop to your doctors (as much as you may not want to) and get it checked out its the best thing to do.

Take care and dont panic!

O Connor agony aunthey chicken well it does sound to me like it could just be a large vein, alot of guys have them and they do look larger when they are flacid. but just to put your worries at ease, i would suggest going and getting it checked. as for the smegma, all i can suggest is cleaning it thoroughly in the morning and evening, you cant stop it coming back but you can keep yourself clean.
