pore like opening on penis skin

by pectus, Mar 25, 2007 12:00AM
Hi

A couple of weeks ago I noticed that there was this minute hole /opening on the shaft of my penis around the area of circumsision. Its a large as a pimple. At first i thought it was a pore but its seems empty. When i stretch the skin of my penis, I can see it as though its a pore that has been emptied of its contents. However, during an erection the circumference of this pore feels hard to the touch and when my penis is flaccid the whole pore looks like a small lip. Its so frustrating and embarrasing.I dont know if its a pore or not and I'm not sexually active. Can someone please comment and provide any help. thanks.

I think there normal, my boyfriend has one too and it just looks like a little piece of skin. I think there just called skin folds, no need to worry :)

Its not that i'm worried im just bothered by how it disrupts the smoothness of  my penis. Its like a litte circular pocket. Is there any way i can get rid of it ?? can the doctor remove it as a biopsy or something. and should i visit a dermatologist or a urologist. ?

Dermotologist for sure

does anyone know the name of this symtpom so i can search it ?

I can now see that there are about 3 of these crater like openings next to each other on my penis skin. When i stretch the skin they appear as little holes as if someone punctured the skin with a needle. One of the holes is a bit larger. Its not a disease i dont know what it is. when i fold the skin to try to feel them, they are as tough as little pebbles, but they are empty, its the skin perimeter around this little craters which is hard to the touch. Please can someone advice further so i can search this topic. CAN A DERMATOLOGIST REMOVE THEM ON THE SPOT????

I am in the same boat and looking for an answer myself.

I am not sure if this is what my problem is, but it sounds like it. When I am limp it looks like little circle divets or indents, but if I stretch my penis the circles become more of an 'open pocket'.....almost like a V, and the empty top space of the V is the opening, and the actually V is just part of my penis....again its like a small pocket. I also have about 12 random small size pockets, and these are all on the base underside of my penis. it actually almost looks like little scars that are slightly darker than my regular skin tone.

I have had this condition for a good 2 years and it doesnt seem to heal itself or get worse.....Someone put an answer for us please, I am too self concious to have sex and need to know how to fix this so I can have sex again!!! I am 20 too. Thanks and hopefully we can get an answer!!!

I will be glad to take and post a picture so you understand completely. But dry white puss comes out of it and it looks quite oily.
