A member asked:

I'm circumcised but my penis head hurts when rubbed. what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Circumcision: If the head of the penis is sensitive more than usual, you should see your urologist. If the sensitivity is soon after a circumcision, this is due to the head being uncovered by the absent foreskin and the head getting used to the new environment.

A member asked:

I'm a 24 year old circumcised male. I recently noticed a small bump on the underside of the shaft of my penis, about halfway down. It is about the size of a BB, doesn't hurt or itch, seems attached to the skin above, and is easily moved around.
