Sebaceous cyst on foreskin

by anonymous2509, May 24, 2009 04:33PM
I'm 17, a Virgin, and had a circumcision at the age of 15. after 6 months, a cyst had developed. it is about the size of a pea. I have been to the doctor and he said it is nothing to worry about. I am considering tying a chord around it and wait for it to drop off. Is this a good idea? I'm very concerned about my future sex life as I have had no previous sexual experiences, I have no idea what to expect. Help me please

Hello,
What you seem to be having is a sebaceous cyst.Pls don’t try such methods as it may cause injuries and complicate the picture. Generally no treatment is required for a sebaceous cyst but if they become painful or are unsightly then surgical excision by traditional wide excision, minimal excision, and punch biopsy excision may be required.Pls consult a dermatologist and get it done.

Hope it helps.Take care and regards.

Would the chord work though? I don't want to go and see anyone about it. I'm too embarrassed. :(

Hello,
Don’t feel embarrassed to consult a dermatologist.With these methods like a cord,you will have self inflicted injuries only.They are not going to help you but you may harm yourself with such methods.

I hope that helps.Take care and regards.
