About a week ago I noticed a small bump under the skin of my shaft, about halfway down the length. It's on the underside, a little to the left of the center, not on any noticible vein.
At first I thought it could have been an ingrown hair because it was just a small bump. When I first noticed it, it was not overly painful, but tender to the touch. 2 days later when the pain subsided, I tried to squeeze the area to see if I could force it out, like a pimple. Now it feels like a thin piece of spaghetti underneath the skin, about a quarter of an inch long.... not hard but not like a jelly feeling. It feels like cooked spaghetti. It doesn't hurt, and it's not really noticible visually, but you could definitely feel it.
I stopped doing the girth exercises, trying not to compress or squeeze the area more, but continued on the length stretches (phase 1 style). I've done the heating pad and it hasn't really helped any. I tried to break the skin w/a needle to see if maybe there was blood or puss under the skin. Nothing seeped out.
I'm just curious as to what this is... and I'm nervous as F about it. I don't know if it's just an ingrown hair which maybe is infected from squeezing it, or if theres a blood clot, or if its thrombosis. I can't be like , "Hey mom, is this an ingrown hair?" You know? So if anyone else has ever gotten a swelling under the skin that feels like a tiny piece of spaghetti, not on a vein, please let me know. Because I'm probably gonna give myself a heart attack the more I think about it.
Thanks.
