[QUOTE="Evermore, post: 518207, member: 7044"] So it could be a few things, depending on location - tumor (benign or malignant), a penis plug (about as fun as it sounds), a cyst or abscess. There are some recommendations and videos online for checking for and clearing plugs, but a general rule is if you're not comfortable (and are afraid of injuring him), leave it to a vet. The other options... well, if you can tell for certain, most cysts go away on their own over time. Abscesses and tumors may require veterinary intervention. There is nothing I can think of that would be immediately life-threatening - though, if a plug, this will inhibit his ability to urinate which can be extremely painful and have some negative side effects (such as infection).
