I've noticed this tiny hard growth on my foreskin, about the size of a grain of sand. It's not itchy or burning or anything, but I'm a bit worried about what it could be. Any ideas on what this might be or if I should get it checked out?

The tip of my penis has been swollen since this morning, and I masturbate pretty regularly. I came across some information that said it might be from excessive or forceful masturbation. The swollen part is really sensitive and it hurts whenever it touches anything. It's painful even during simple activities like walking or doing chores. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will just heal on its own?
