I am a week post-surgery from a problem that has plagued me since puberty. Like the previous poster suggested, its just a matter of cutting out both full nodes and lone sections of scrotal calcinosis and then sewing the remaining foreskin back up (while you are under a general anaesthetic). I had it done via a groin reconstruction specialist but it really should be operable by any surgeon who is good with cutting and sewing :) anyway, my only issue post op has been the integrity of some of the stitching where the foreskin meets the shaft of the penis seems to have been compromised when I am 'excited'...otherwise if it heals then itll be the best surgery and hopefully last one I'll ever need to have! Gluck all!
I have the same problem .. Seems best result is slicing open ur sack and taking part of it out and sewing it back up . There is plenty of extra skin down there . My question is who does the procedure ? Should I see a dermatologist or urologist ?
Can you please update me on how things are going for you. PLEASE
Yeah, I'm a 29 year old male with the exact same issue. It has not stopped me from forming long term relationships in the past but I think my case has gotten worse. A girlfriend I had was so freaked out she went and got tested for STDs despite my attempts to explain the issue, and recently it caused some issues with a sexual partner I had (without a doubt, it would have been the same had I been on the receiving end of the encounter). It's awful; love will not conquer the fact that I look disgusting. I don't want psychological treatment for the depression it's caused. Surely a cure exists....something I've noticed with my own subaceous cysts: they tend to 'maturate' with a lot of uniformity. That is, compared with other times of the month, on certain days it seems they're much more easily acted upon-- so I'm aware there's a kind of cycle taking place. How can I intervene in this cycle and inhibit their production? Is it a DNA thing?
I've read about self surgery- personally, I think it's successful with people who have scrotal calcinosis, because these cysts can be removed and aren't likely to return. This ****, the one's I've got- it's a curse from the God's. I may as well have leprosy...and in a society which increasingly consumes more pornography and images of idealized sex, subaceous cysts are especially difficult to suffer. You know, even if there was just a way to make them less unsightly, a topical remedy, I'd be happy.
No self surgery, no heating...perhaps a dietary approach. From the literature I've read, there's a lot of keratin and cholesterol in the cheesy white material within the cysts. Can we reverse, or at the minimum lower, the production of these materials? One's a steroid- surely we can attack the excess production of cholesterol in our bodies. I've put a lot of thought into this. I'm beginning to think about preparing an excell sheet tabulating their growth and disappearance, my daily food intake, etc.
More to come...
Hello,
Fordcye spots are small, painless, raised, pale or white spots or bumps 1 to 3 mm in diameter that may appear on the shaft of the penis. The spots are a form of ectopic sebaceous gland, and are not known to be associated with any disease or illness and are of cosmetic concern only. They are non-infectious and a natural occurrence on the body.
They should be removed only if they are irritating or are unsightly.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
