“Prostate scare?”
I was in the shower and I was curious. it’s an embarrassing situation, but I felt my prostate and I noticed that there was something on it that felt an awful lot like an eraser from one of those number 2 pencils. I’ve looked it up online and gotten zero answers.

You are much too young to have a lump of prostate cancer at this stage in your life. It was probably an internal vein or hemorrhoid, or fecal debris. See your doctor.
Hi, Young man, Thank you for contacting FATD about your concern about your prostate.
First of all, I would say it is extremely unlikely for a 21-year-old healthy man to have a problem with the prostate, though prostate inflammation could occur. Further, the information provided is not sufficient to deduce a logical conclusion.

A nodule on the prostate can be indicative of prostate cancer, but very unlikely in a 21 year old. You can always see a urologist who can do an exam on you.
