My son who is 5 has either a pimple or a cyst on the side of his penis (on the shaft below the head) is this of concern. Having a hard time letting me or his Mom look at it but i got a look when he was sleeping and looks like it is a little bigger then a pea in size bigger than i expected . cant tell if it is a pimple or cyst. Probally call the doctor if in a few days it is still there. Is this a common issue ??? is there something else it can be that i am orverlooking???
Thank you in advance, a concerend Dad.

If there is any doubt, you should take him to the doctor, especially if the cyst changes shape or gets larger. If it's just a pimple it will go away on its own.

My friend, it looks like a cyst and white below the gland (skin that covers the head) do not worry, that happened to my son. Create the habit that every time your son goes to the bathroom pull with care the skin and in few days the "cyst" will disappear. But if the color is yellow it is because there is an inflamation. I think it is a little big and you should consult a doctor.

You looked while he was sleeping? Geesh. I guess you can do that at age 5, but what if he woke up? Anyway my son complained about something like a pimple but then wouldn't let us look. I was concerned but I told him I can't help him unless he shows us. he fell down in a sport earlier that day so his Dad just brushed it off and told him it was from that. We never heard anything about it again. I never did know what it was but it scared the heck out of me.

It could be, and probably is, just a pimple. I had one on my penis once...in the same area you describe. It got rather large before I popped it. It was gross but it felt much better. Try a long warm bath and see if that helps.

OK I had a white head on my Penis when I was a teenager. It's no biggie. It popped when I got wood. Double squirt.
I'd do the doctor thing anyway just to make sure.
Oh and to screw with his mind, tell him it's from playing with it.
