A member asked:
I have this firmness at the base of my penis that feels tight and hard even when flaccid. my penis used to just relax and be loose when flaccid, but now it is more shrunk up and harder. is the firm part plaque or some hard tissue? i am only 18?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scar tissue or plaque can form on the shaft of the penis, forming a hard lump at the base or on the side of the penis, usually associated with the formation of curvature of the penis. Calcifications and and cancerous lesions can also present as hard lumps. A medical exam is warranted.
