A member asked:

How does one identify peyronie's disease scar tissue? feel, look like?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Site of curvature: Peyronie's disease occurs when the normally elastic tissue within the penis is replaced with non-elastic "scar" tissue ("plaque"). This can often be felt at the site where the penis is curving: it will be harder than the surrounding tissue.
