Follower says he thinks he has a cyst on his penis and asks if it can be removed with surgery




Doctor, I think I have a sebaceous cyst on my penis. Should I remove it with surgery or liquid nitrogen?

First of all, it would be important to be sure that it is indeed a sebaceous cyst. It could be, for example, a lipoma, which is a small ball of fat that is found under the skin; it could be an ingrown hair; Finally, several possibilities can cause a hardening of the skin in the penis region.

Therefore, it is important to consult a specialist, a dermatologist or a urologist, to evaluate the area and know exactly what the diagnosis is.

With the diagnosis in hand, the doctor can think about the best alternative. In some cases, a small surgical procedure is sufficient for removal, in other cases it is possible to reverse an inflammatory or infectious condition simply with the use of local medications. Liquid nitrogen can also be used, in certain circumstances, to burn wounds.

The most important thing is to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
