Go to a GP and get it checked out. Don't be embarrsed, it's not a big deal. A GP can tell almost instantly whether its anything serious. :cool:

If its something serious it can be prevented, if its nothing, at least you can lay your mind to rest. :smile:

search for it on the internet, you may be able to find pics or something and see if it is what you have

bloody hell, calm down. 1 little lump does not mean it is cancer.

Now, seen as you are worried about it, go and get it checked out. If you don't then you will just make yourself ill with worry. As for your work, leave that till after the doctors, because without health, you wont be able to learn.

It's best to go and see your GP but try not to worry too much.

You can go and see your GP without parental consent, and the GP is obliged to keep the consultation confidential... however, in the unlikely event of you requiring treatment, your parents will need to consent you for this.

I know this may seem embarrassing, but it may be best to tell your parents

My bloke had that. Harmless cist , snipped off , bit tender for a few days but he was fine , no scar or anything.Although i don't remember him saying that it was sore before. Go to your GP and drop your trousers. They see it all the time.

ok, i know its a little worrying to talk to your parents about your privates, but i think that really this isnt so bad! Go to your GP, if its something serious you'll need their support, and they should be pleased your doing a routine examination, even if its routine down to a few times a night *wink wink* - you dont have to tell them that!
