Foreskin Growth
I have recently noticed a growth on my Foreskin, I am circumsized, It does not hurt or have any discharge and is slightly firm when squeezed...It almost looks like a small nipple....
I could send a picture to the MD who responds to my posting....
I'm 45 and married and don't fool around so I would doubt it could be a STD....
Thank You....

Hello,
This skin growth can be due to a sebaceous cyst, clogged gland, seborrheic keratosis or benign growth. A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac occurring just under the skin which contains a "pasty" or "cheesy" looking substance called keratin. Blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles and excessive testosterone production will cause such cysts.
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 doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing
