Hard bump under foreskin.

[cahildebran82]

I have had this very small, rock like lump under my foreskin for a long time.  It's about 2 mm's in size, and white in color, and it's kind of flat. Looks like a sesame seed. It dosent hurt and has never changed colors, or size. It's barely noticable when looking at it but i can definitely feel it. I think I had a doctor tell me one time when I was younger that it could be a calcium deposit. Anyways, my question is, can this be removed or can I possibly cut it out myself? It appears to just barely be under the first layer of skin. I have tried mashing it before like a zit, but it will not pop and kinda hurts when I mash it real hard????

Hello,
Sorry replied to an earlier question first.

This hard lump looks like small cyst under the skin. The other possibility is of a plaque in the vessels. Treatment of cyst includes small surgical opening into the skin and removing the sac (excision biopsy). But recurrence is quite common. I suggest you to get the diagnosis confirmed from a dermatologist after examination and investigations like ultrasound and color Doppler.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.

Hello,
Foamy urine is common when you are passing urine too fast and it is concentrated. You could drink more water to see if it goes away. Proteinuria is just one of the causes of foamy urine. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) (commonly prostatitis) and retrograde ejaculation are two common causes in men. If the symptoms persist then get an evaluation done for these. It is not due to semen in urine.

You will need a urine examination, culture and 24 hours urine sample for confirming the diagnosis.

I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
