Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes A Piece Of Skin Attached To The Penis?
I'm 14 I have a piece of skin from the head of the penis to the shaft, it only connected at the bottom of the head and the bottom of the neck, then there is a space between the middle of the neck. I was wondering what this is called and what should I do?
A penile adhesion develops when the skin of the penis shaft adheres or sticks to the skin of the penis head, also known as the glans.
This condition can develop in males who are circumcised or, more commonly, uncircumcised. In infants and young boys, a penile adhesion usually resolves on its own without any treatment. In other cases, topical creams may help.
In very serious cases, surgery may be needed to separate the attached sections of skin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr K. V. Anand, Psychologist
