Question 1

i was circumcised as a baby, but somehow a small piece of skin is still attached to my penis.  should i cut the skin off?

Accepted Answer

No: Unless the skin is painful or tears with erections or stimulation, i would suggest doing nothing.

Question 2

17, no sexual experience and circumcised. in my 'excess' penis skin i have 3/4 very small spots?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Not all post-ciccumcision penis has a perfect glans penis and foreskin, but still with some skin redundancy, which is much easier to care for topical hygiene than before circumcision. So, keep the area clean and dry with good ventilation; if not improved with such measures, see Doc for clearer identification and solution. But, clinically, what described seems suggesting benign condition.

Question 3

i'm circumcised tho when i have sex with my girlfriend lately my penis develops small cuts that hurt a lot what's wrong with it?

Accepted Answer

Lubricant: Try using a water based lubricant like K-Y jelly.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 4

i'm a 24 year old circumcised male. i recently noticed a small bump on the underside of the shaft of my penis, about halfway down. it is about the size of a bb, doesn't hurt or itch, seems attached to the skin above, and is easily moved around.

Accepted Answer

See in real life: Skin bumps can sometimes be diagnosed via video. A patient can try HealthTap PRIME for a virtual consult (there is a fee). Otherwise, one's primary care doctor or a dermatologist can examine the bump. It could be a closed comedone, a plugged sebaceous gland or follicle, an unusual mole, or less likely a wart. It may be best to get it examined, so that the doctor gets the texture and feel of it.

Accepted Answer

Oil gland: it is oil gland cyst which is common if your circumcision is not complete which mean if there is still fold of skin you still can pill back make sure you pull it back often specially during shower so the area can get clean, meanwhile keep the area of the cyst clean and apply topical antibiotic and avoid the temptation of squeezing the cyst

Question 7

small, flat, painless freckle like spots on the tip of my penis. not sure how long i have had them. penile cancer? i am circumcised.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Periodically examine the freckle. Y If the freckle/mole doubles in size, becomes irregular in size, shape or color, bleeds, ulcerates or develops a nodule, see a doctor.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.  Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless.
Practice safe sex.

Question 8

yellow substance leaking from penis. never had sex before. no trouble or burning when urinating. not circumcised. small cut on skin. is this bad?

Accepted Answer

Likely semen: Semen is constantly produced although usually only escapes with a sexual climax or as wet dream fluid. Yellow color is primarily from small amount of urine mixed with semen. Hope you have normal forceful urinary stream because presence of a urethral stricture (narrowing) could account for semen leaking. You can have a stricture without any burning, just takes long time to empty bladder.
