Question 2

what is this thin gray layer on the glans of my penis? i am uncircumcised and just pulled back my foreskin all the way past the head. i am 17. any help will be great?

Accepted Answer

: The material that naturally collects under the foreskin is called smegma. It is entirely normal. Uncircumcised men should retract the foreskin whenever they shower or bathe (at least 2-3 times a week) and wash with soap and water. This will prevent accumulation of too much smegma and also help prevent inflammation or infection under the foreskin (balanitis). Good luck.

It could be a bruise: If this is new  would suspect a  bruise.  You can put heat on it to help the body heal it. A bruise does notalways hurt. You can discuss this with your physician.

Question 9

10 months ago i hit sharp edge of table with my thigh(didnt bleed)-still have grey discoloration(still looks like bruise )where it hit-when will it go?

Accepted Answer

If the bruise or: hematoma has walled off like an abscess, and your body cannot reabsorp the crystals and hemosiderin that remains behind, which rarely can occur in the thigh given its poor blood supply to the fascia of the muscles, then you may not ever get rid of the hematoma..  Sorry to confirm your worst suspicion :(
