Penile Skin Bridge

 

Morning

IYKYK

In case you don't read the comments, the foreskin mystery from last week's post How Common was solved. What the Reader saw on his friend's cock at the gym is a Skin Bridge.

And, apparently, it is not all that common among adult men.

This can occur at any point along the glans.

According to the Cleveland Clinic:

• Penile skin bridge. This is a thicker, more permanent attachment. It occurs when the skin on the shaft attaches to the coronal margin. The coronal margin is the round border near the tip of the penis. A penile skin bridge usually needs treatment.

A penile skin bridge, also known as a penile adhesion, is a band of skin that connects the shaft of the penis to the head (glans). These can develop after circumcision, but can also occur in uncircumcised males. They can form due to incomplete separation of the foreskin or from injury to the glans during healing. While often asymptomatic, they can cause discomfort or irritation, especially during erections. Treatment typically involves separating the skin bridge, often through a minor surgical procedure. 

Applying a steroid cream is typically the first choice of treatment if the bridge causes discomfort or pain during an erection. If that doesn't resolve the issue, a minor surgery can separate it from the head, or remove it.

Big Thanks go to Anonymous and Everett, who both helped to solve the mystery.

How Common?

Truth Is Stranger

"This has to be in the category of You Can't Make This Up. When my dad introduced me to his gf and her son it was like looking in the mirror. Come to find out my dad was in college he sold sperm to make extra money. So we're actually halfbrothers. Now we share a bedroom and the only way to tell us apart is I'm cut and he's not. I never seen a foreskin before and asked him if I could touch it. He started to get a boner and that fascinated me even more. Before we knew both our dicks were hard and we ended sucking each other off. He wants to make it so we are perfectly alike and the only way to do it is for him to get circumsized. How does a dick heal up after that do they put stitches on it?"

Well, you're right. That belongs in Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction. But how strongly does he feel about getting circumcised? I'd urge him to not follow through on that because he's doing it for esthetics (for looks). If there was a real medical situation, it'd be different.

The foreskin is loaded with nerve endings. Not to mention it's there to help keep the cockhead soft and supple.

But to answer your question, yes. The remaining skin is stitched together to close the wound.

According to MedicinePlus.gov:

"The foreskin is removed and stitched onto the remaining skin of the penis. Stitches that dissolve are used to close the wound. They will be absorbed by the body within 7 to 10 days. The wound may take up to 3 weeks to heal."

Urge him to keep his cock exactly as it is.

Ball-Body Check

 

Yes, men, it is that time again.

BUDDY BALL BODY CHECK

However, as Summer moves into high gear, we should also think about getting that full body check for skin cancer. Yes, the cock and ballsac, too. Cancer doesn't care who you are, how much money you have, or the size of your equipment.

And, as one Faithful Reader reminded us last month, if you are still intact, you should be pulling back that foreskin and doing a check of that, as well.

Skin cancer doesn't care about color, either.

Get busy getting checked.
