A member asked:

Im a male with what im positive to be a urethral carcuncle but it only shows up when im erect or after ive been erect for a period of time is this a urethral carbuncle and is it normal for them to show up only when erect or post erection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A caruncle is swelling of the lining (mucosa) of the urinary opening and rare in males. A carbuncle is an infection of a skin gland and does not occur there. Since the glans is more congested during erection it becomes more prominent. Best is to get checked by a Urologist
