What Causes Bump On Circumcision Scar Line?
Question: Hello, I have a small firm but sensitive bump on the circumcision scar line on my penis shaft. It seems to have come up in the past few weeks but I notice it now during sex and masterbation because of the contact. Is this something that may go away on its own and what could it be. Thank You

Ok, Thank you very much, Is there something specific that usually causes this and in that specific area of the circumcision scar line?
Brief Answer:
Wounds heal by producing hard tissue!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Wounds heal by producing hard tissue(fibrous). This explains why scars are never as soft as other skin tissues. Probably you realized this recently but for sure this is something that has been there. There is no reason to get worried about it. The image is totally reassuring and leaves no room for doubts as to what exactly is going on.
