Why Do I Have Puffy Penis?
Question: the area above my penis is puffy (has been for a long time)...the entire area covered by pubic hair. I am not fat and never have been. However, I can grab the skin in that area like somebody grabs their stomach. It does not hurt and is only noticeable without clothes on. But, I would like to know if there is anything I can do for it.
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The accumulation of fat above the penis is a normal physiological variation and does not indicate any pathology.
It can only be corrected surgically by surgical liposuction, ultrasound lipolysis or Laser treatment. You can discuss these options with your dermatologist who will choose the best procedure for you after an examination.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
