I was giving my husband a blow job and felt a hard bump on the shaft of his cock. His cock is thick with lots of veins that get stick out when he is hard and I thought that was just a vein that was harder than normal. After a few minutes I knew this spot was not right my tongue knows his cock. I stopped sucking and when I looked at his cock bump and I could see and feel a hard substance under the skin. I happened to have some tweezers on my nightstand so I used them to work the stuff out. It looked like a piece of rice but it wasn’t as hard. I cleaned where the bump was and put some lidocaine on it. I think it was just a pimple but my husband has freaked out. For some reason he has shut down and won’t let me touch him. He said he is sore where the bump was, but he is avoiding sex. He finally told me he is worried he may have cancer. What are the signs of cancer on his cock and the difference of it being a pimple.

Sounds like a sebaceous cyst. After all the penis is just another body part with dermis, oils, skin & hair follicles. Like any body part that has use or friction you can get blocked pores that collect skin and hair from your own body or your partners body. Cancer usually follows some signature patterns of skin discoloration of splotchy red or black with an odd shape that will grow in size quickly, it will be more than just a sensitive spot. Pimples or cysts anywhere are sensitive especially in already sensitive areas like eyes, genitals, nose, ears.. etc. Best advice is to follow up with his doctor for some blood work and an exam.

Hello just looking for some quick advice. A few years ago I had a huge pimple on my penile shaft. I tried to pop it and it became larger. After all was said and done I was left with 2 hard little balls under the skin that is quite unsightly when my penis is erected. I would like to know what this is and how I can go about removing it from the skin. Any advice would help thank you.
