There is a fleshy lump on the frenulum

Pimples can be found everywhere on the human body, but it is necessary to pay attention when they grow on the most sensitive parts of the male body. Because the male body, especially the frenulum area, is very sensitive, and unexpected problems can easily occur during sexual intercourse or in daily life. The growth of fleshy bumps in the frenulum area is a symptom of disease, so pay attention to treatment. What is the fleshy lump on the frenulum of foreskin?

Sebaceous cyst, commonly known as "sebaceous tumor", refers to the formation of cysts due to accumulation of sebaceous glands in the gland after the sebaceous gland duct is blocked. This is the most common type of benign skin tumor. Many people have experienced developing a cyst, especially young people who are in their growth and development period.

Sebaceous cysts are most common on the scalp and face, followed by the trunk. Due to their different depths and amounts of contents, their sizes vary greatly, ranging from as small as a grain of rice to as large as an egg. It is often diagnosed as lipoma, fibroma, etc. Sebaceous cysts grow very slowly, but patients can still feel them gradually increasing in size.

Sebaceous cysts are mostly single, occasionally multiple, round in shape, of medium or elastic hardness, raised above the skin surface, with a smooth surface. When pushed, they feel connected to the surface but not attached to the base, and have no sense of fluctuation. The skin color may be normal or light blue. If the tumor grows too quickly, the surface skin may appear shiny. Sometimes there is an opening on the skin surface, through which the white tofu-like contents can be squeezed out. This opening is where the sebaceous glands on the skin surface are located. The depression in the opening is caused by the insufficient length of the duct. Sebaceous cysts are often complicated by infection, which causes the cyst to rupture and temporarily disappear, but it will form scars and is prone to recurrence. The chances of a sebaceous cyst becoming cancerous are extremely rare.

1. Often occurs on the head, face, back or buttocks of adults. It grows slowly and has no symptoms. When infected, it may cause redness, swelling, heat and pain.

2. The cyst is round, with clear boundaries, a movable base, and adherence to the skin. It feels cystic, and black follicle pores can sometimes be seen in the center, which ooze out white sebum after squeezing or rupture.

"Pearly penile papules" are small papules of skin color or light red that grow on the penis, along the coronal sulcus of the glans, arranged neatly, about the size of rice grains, with round tops, smooth, and non-merging skin color or light red. The incidence is about 19%, and it is common in young men. Generally there are no subjective symptoms. It is a normal physiological change of the skin, not a pathological change, so it is certainly not contagious.

The cause of this disease is still unclear, but it sometimes occurs in young men with excessive foreskin. Therefore, some scholars believe that it may be related to chronic inflammatory stimulation caused by excessive foreskin and excessive smegma. Because they are often discovered suddenly during bathing or after sexual intercourse, they are often mistaken for condyloma acuminatum, also known as "cauliflower", causing panic.

In fact, it is not difficult to diagnose "pearlous penile papules" clinically. Generally speaking, if the person does not engage in risky sexual behavior and rarely goes to public places such as saunas, and if the lesions are regular in appearance and do not increase in number or become larger in size within a short period of time, then they may be "pearlous penile papules."

"Pearly penile papules" are most often differentiated from condyloma acuminatum in clinical practice. In addition, it is often distinguished from symptoms such as molluscum contagiosum, lichen lucidum, sebaceous ectopia, sebaceous cyst or undulating papules.
