Is Lump Under Stitches On Penis Normal During Healing?

i recently have had a biopsy on the shaft of my penis, on the foreskin, i had stitches in there, but now the skin has healed and the stitches are out, underneath where the scar is, there is a painless lump, is this normal, im not sure weather it is the knot of one of the stitches becouse of of my stitches feel out in the night before the doctors took them out?

HI,Welcome with your query to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,going by the story,You seem to have resolving reactive fibrosis at the stitch sites.This is normal and would take time of 2-3 weeks more.
You need to check with your doctor if takes long time,as it could be stitch F.B.Granuloma,or could be keloid.Both need to be dealt by a Surgeon.
Hope this reply would help you.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.

Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.
