Small bump on penis?

Hello, I have a very small, skin-colored/slightly white bump on the underside of my penis, where the foreskin is attached. I'm pretty sure it's been there for a while, but not 100% sure. It's not painful, itchy, or anything. It's just there. I looked up online that it might be pearly papules? I'm not sure. I figure if it was anything bad it would hurt or itch or burn or something, but it's just there. Does that sound like something that I should be concerned with?

That sounds like an inclusion cyst, which we see happen when a hair follicle gets obstructed. It’s benign.

Lesions on any part of your body should be evaluated by a physician as there are many benign and malignant causes. Your family physician can guide care.
