What does ingrown on penis mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here are some ...: Your mentioning "... ingrown on the penis ..." may just represent one of the common concerns right beneath penile skin, called hyperactive sebaceous glands, which may single or multiple, may stay small as 1 mm or grow to 1-3 cm, and in turn and rarely may become infected to form an abscess, which may require incision / drainage and later removal of the whole gland to prevent recurrence.
