2 months post circumcision..Are the lumps considered scar tissue and will it go away?

[Jgarcia2020]

Its been 8 weeks since my circumcision surgery and I’m still not completely healed. There are lumps that have not changed in size and I’m worried it’s going to stay that way. Anybody else have the same issue? What is it and how do you get rid of it? I’m assuming it’s scar tissue but not sure.

I have same type of lumps After one month. They changed a little in size dont worry mate it takes time.

Can't tell for sure if the entirety of the lumps will go but most subside with time. Some have even said there have been changes over a year or so. If you are still a little anxious , would not hurt to run it past your doctor. I had 2 bumps but they went away by around 2 months or so. All the best !

Do you think it’s scar tissue then?

[Velcro93 in reply to HappyABC]

I'm not 💯 sure but I feel it's more an Inflammatory reaction to the sutures than scar tissue. But this is just my opinion . Do ask your doctor during a follow up to put the doubt at ease. Cheers !

Just an update. I went back to the urologist two weeks ago, which was 4 months after my circumcision. The lumps are still there and haven’t really changed in size. The doctor said it feels like a wart and diagnosed it as hpv. He proscribed medication and wants to see me again in a month. I’ve never had warts so odd they would show after surgery. I have looked online and the lumps do not look like hpv warts I’ve researched. I may go get a second opinion. I figured it was just scaring that hasn’t healed. Anyone else have the same issue?

I too have two bumps like projection below the frenulum of the penis tip. They are very large few days back and painful especially when urinating. Family doc gave some antibiotics for 10 days and the size has reduced drastically and there is no pain but the small bumps are still visible. Doc says it will take time for them to go as the frenulum or banjo string is connected to that portion of the skin and is tight. It has to loosen with time. I'm 7 weeks after Circumcision surgery

If the situation is the same than three months ago. It looks like the surgeon has left the remnant of frenulum at its place. He/She has just separated it off to urethral side, but not removed the flesh or sutured it back on to surface. This is just my guess.

A plastic surgeon suggested me to get some steroid injections and they seem to work for now. Talk to you doctor about it and see what he says. All the best

Based on my “research” it’s scar tissue. Yes i agree it is indeed odd that your doctor tells you it’s hpv. For the record, genital warts grow in clusters. Can I ask if you picked on your suture when you were recovering?

Also, it wouldnt hurt to use silicone scar gels that are available over the counter. Upon application, try massaging those bumps for the cells to distribute and eventually flatten.
