What is the reason for a lump near the wound after a circumcision and desensitization surgery?

Patient's question:

Had the circumcision and desensitization surgery done at the same time. About 10 days after the surgery, I noticed a small lump near the wound again. It's neither soft nor hard, painless, and itchy. What assistance is needed: I'd like some advice from the doctor on how to remove it, and what could be the cause of it.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a small lump has reappeared near the wound again. It is likely either 1. local suture reaction or 2. local skin breakdown of the wound.
Suggestions: If there are no discomfort symptoms, it may not need immediate attention. Once you notice the lump shrinking or experience pain or discomfort, it is important to see a doctor promptly for treatment such as anti-infection.
For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
