So I shave my set up all the time, and a couple months ago I happened to nick myself on my penis, it scabbed and looked like it was healing up fine, but a tiny piece of excess skin showed up where the scab was instead. It hasn't grown, it doesn't hurt, but I'm self conscious about it, Is it a wart, a skin tag, either way, how can I get it off? Kinda too embarassed to go to the docs office. Any advice or suggestions?
Tie a piece of string around the excess skin and cut off blood circulation until left over skin falls off.
Wait, cutting of blood circulation - for whatever reason - on his penis with such an unsanitary method... really? First of all, the wound has healed and it would be completely insane to pick on it now risking infection and whatnot, so, please, Guest, is the scar raised above surrounding skin? Different color, or anything like that? It takes time for it to heal - you saw that already, I really don't think you should go pick it and make it even worse than it is now. I know it's hard to wait, but it will get smaller on its own.
Well, its not a different color, it is raised, but its not a scar persay. Some one told me to try garlic or apple cider vinegar on one of those small dot-like band-aids for about two weeks, but that sounds like wart treatment to me. I don't pick at it, however I'm growing tired of it.
Those are wart treatments and I can't see how they would help - they main goal is to starve the virus that is causing the warts of oxygen and that really has nothing to do with your situation. I can understand why it bothers you - how wouldn't it, but, still the best shot at getting to the solution of this problem is seeing an urologist - a specialist for male reproductive organs. Even though dermatologist here probably would have a better answer, or at least a better estimate on how long before the scar shrinks.
