Q: Fleshy Growth on the Penis and Circumcision
asked by: DoctorQuestion on January 15th, 2006
Hi and hello, I am a 14-year-old circumsized male with a strange fleshy growth directly under my urethral opening.

Basically, it seems to be extra skin, I can strech it, play with it, ect. and it doesnt hurt. Over the past year it may or may not have grown, I cant really remember how it was when I first noticed, but if it has grown its grown very little and very slowly, at least from I can see on the surface. Additionialy, it doesnt hurt at all and isnt very sensitive to touch and pain.

It poses no problems urinating, and no pain when I do urniate. There is no white or yellowish discharge and Im quite puzzled as to what it is. Ive researched a little bit and havent found anything that could fit its description 100% correctly. It doesnt looks like herpes, warts, blisters, ect. but if had to put my money on something it would be either skin tags, gonorrhea, or cancer, but I have no formal medical training of course.

Is this normal? If not, any adive on what this could be or is? Most importantly though, I plan on asking about this next I have a check-up at the nurse office, should I wait until then (A couple months), or schedule something right away?

Also, Ive never had sexual intercorse or contact with anyone.

The "fleshy growth" on your penis will probably give you trouble when you begin to have sexual contacts. You can ask for expert help from a urologist, who will make a thorough physical examination and review the procedure of your circumcision.
