Hard lump under skin, pubic area

I’ve got a pea sized hard lump that I can move around a little at the top of my Prepuce/ pubic area it’s been there a while I shaved so i could see it, can only slightly see it and it doesn’t look like previous ingrown hairs, should I get it checked out? 

  • Hi Llama 123456 and thank you for your post.

    I’m sorry you are worried about a pea sized lump near your pubic area and can understand you wanting to find out more.

    I'm afraid we are unable to diagnose or tell you if anything is the matter. Symptoms can have straightforward medical explanations. But only a doctor can make a medical assessment as they are trained to assess symptoms and can arrange tests if they feel it’s necessary to try to find out what might be going on. So, do make a GP appointment to get checked out. 

    I hope you know more about your situation soon.
