Is Allergy To Certain Soap Normal After Circumcision?

Hey. Every since I was a kid, I ve always had sensitivity to certain soaps with my penis. I was circumsiced as a baby and always had a little small bump under the gland along the circumsicion line. It only bothers me when I use certain soaps. Is this a common problem related to circumcision?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in HCM.
It appears that you have mistaken about allergic to soaps and about circumcision. Both are two different entities and are not related.
Circumcision is an operation performed to remove foreskin over glans as it would be difficult to maneuver and it will prevent from causing phimosis.
Allergic reaction is due to your immune response to certain chemicals in soap. If you are allergic to certain soaps because of chemicals used, you need to avoid them.
Hope the information provided answers your doubts.
