[|Human|] My little boy is 18 months old, and whilst cleaning his genital area this morning i noticed a small hard pea sized lump on the left side of his willy, he seems to be in discomfort when it is touched, because i tried to feel it to see what it was, it is protruding. what on earth could this be?
[|AI|]  I understand your concern. The pea sized lump as you said could be a lymph node in the inguinal area enlarged. The cause is usually an infection in the Chat Doctor. Infections could be a folliculitis or a pustule or simply a small abrasion that occurs while playing. In such cases I would look for the focus of infection and treat with an antibiotic cream. As there is pain I would give anti-inflammatory analgesic like Broken syrup and observe Once the infection is treated the lump will also go away in some time. Take care and inform me if any more doubts. Observe if the swelling increases while crying or coughing in which case it could be an inguinal hernia. If you have more worries please clarify with your doctor and have him examined.
