bumps on penis - smegma? fungus? Posted: 12-12-07 09:46am
I am faced with a couple of problems, let
me know what you think...
I was told i had smegma on my penis when i
was 17 or 18 years old by my childhood
physician. Since then i have done the
reccomended cleaning with irish spring
soap as reccomended, but the smegma
remains. I dont really see the white
flakey bits on my penis and i havent in
years. However, there are bumps that have
formed...can this still be smegma? perhaps
a fungus?
My Dr. reccomended a circumcision, but i
had a knee surgery this summer so i
figured one surgery at a time is enough! I
am considering it because i dont feel like
i can have a normal relaitonship with a
girl. Having these bumps on my penis is
extremely embarassing...and i cant imagine
bringing myself to tell the girl i have
feelings for. Infact it has made me
immaturely ruin potentially great
relationships. I feel kinda trapped at
this point.
I'm 20 years old and in college...i feel
like i should be gettin out there at this
point. My dad asks me why i dont have a
girlfriend and what do i say..."Nah man i
got this junk on my dick", chicks don't
dig it....

If the Dr is reccommending circumcision,
then i think that is probably the best
thing to do, but only if he is that that
it will fix the problem. There would be
no point in going through that surgery for
nothing. Has your doc referred you to a
specialist at all? Maybe you need a
second opinion before you agree to
surgery. I can understand your feelings
of embarassment and feeling trapped. I
would get it dealt with soon, so you can
feel better about yourself and move on.
Good luck.

Have you gotten confirmation from the
doctor as to what the bumps are?
You lose a lot of sensation with
circumcision. You still have enough to
enjoy an awesome sex life, but just make
sure you're ready to part with the extra
sensation before you agree to the surgery.
I agree, sometimes circumcision is
necessary. Just make sure it's the best
decision for you!
