A member asked:
Since i was child i noticed a circumcision scar on my penis and there is a part of surgical suture in it no other symptoms ?

Clarify: Generally circumcisions done in the 1st month of life do not require suturing. If it was done later they would usually be absorbable sutures that would be long gone. There may be a lump or knot of skin, but this would only be a cosmetic issue. If concerned have it evaluated by your doc.
