What could be the cause of a lump forming at the base of the penis, and what should be done about it?

A lump appearing at the base of the penis is usually caused by conditions such as folliculitis, allergies, or genital warts.

If the area where the hair follicles are located becomes infected by bacteria, lumps can also form. It is important to take proper care measures to keep the area dry and clean.

If an individual has an allergic constitution, it can also cause noticeable swelling at the base of the penis. In such cases, medications such as loratadine tablets, cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, or loratadine dispersible tablets should be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Genital warts can be transmitted through sexual activity, and the viral infection may require treatment with lasers or cryotherapy.

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, it could also be a sebaceous cyst, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up.
