Dear Nick,
There may be small papules or lumps on the ridge of the glans (corona) and sometimes sebaceous cysts may be present at the base of the penis that is not important, if they do not cause discomfort.
Usually lumps that form should be attended to. I advise you to make an appointment with your doctor. Doctors tend to these problems every day. You do not have to feel embarrassed about it.
