Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:Recently had a circumcision for phimosis. Before the surgery, the foreskin was retracted behind the glans, leading to easy tearing of the foreskin. Recently, I noticed a hard nodule the size of a rice grain under the skin of the penile shaft. It is painless and itchy, movable, more noticeable during erection, and there is no sexual dysfunction. What could be the cause? Is further examination necessary?
Doctor's answer:
Consider subcutaneous nodules more, asymptomatic ones do not need treatment, pay attention to hygiene, and continue to monitor. For your condition, it is recommended to apply Bacitracin ointment or Neomycin ointment externally to try and treat it. I believe everyone knows that penile plaques can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid stimulating foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits can be scheduled when necessary.
