A member asked:

I recently had a penile biopsy. how long after should i notice a scab or healing to form? i'm worried that my "morning wood" is not letting it heal.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Call the Doctor: Call the Doctor's office who performed the biopsy. Review the treatment protocol for healing and what to expect. If you are a healthy 22 year old male and are keeping the area clean it should heal.
