I'm really concerned because I've noticed a bump on the shaft of my penis. It's got these little holes at the base where some white stuff is coming out. Initially, it was just shiny and pink, but now it's started to bleed a bit. I'm really worried that it could be cancer. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

I've been noticing that some of the nerves on my penis have been swollen over the past couple of weeks. They feel kind of hard, almost like there's a blockage. Normally, it doesn't hurt, but I do feel pain when I press on them or during any sexual activity. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it considered normal?
it seems abnormal which needs evaluation visit urologist for evaluation and appropriate management.
