Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:I recently noticed a small hard lump under the skin in the middle of my penis while taking a shower. It's about the size of a rice grain, and there are no symptoms. I'm not sure what it is. Does anyone know? Thank you
Doctor's answer:
This is considered a penile plaque. Generally, penile plaques do not pose harm to the body and can coexist with it long-term. Of course, they may also cause some discomfort in the local area. If you are really bothered by it, you don't need to rush into surgical removal. Simply injecting some hormone drugs into the local area of the plaque to suppress the proliferation of fibroblasts can control its development. I recommend going to the hospital for a check-up to put your mind at ease.
