Hi and thanks for the question. Unfortunately there's no way for me to tell what it might be without a visual examination. It's very possible that it is some kind of birth mark or collection of benign tissue if you have never noticed it change and it's been there for a number of years. However, it could be an indication of something else, and so my advice to you is to visit a doctor and get it examined. I know that many men hate going to the doctor especially for things involving their penises or testicles (I know I do!), but it will be better to know for sure that it's nothing than to be left in the dark. Go get it looked at by a professional, and good luck...I'm sure you'll be fine. Scott Gross
