Treating this kind of penile disease require surgery to remove the hard lump and this can be done in two kinds of techniques. One of them is by cutting out the lump and placing a patch of skin in the cut area. The other way is by pinching the affected tissue sideways in order to cancel the possible effects; this can cause the penis to be short. The other option to this treatment is by implanting in the case where the man has lost the ability to maintain erection.

Step 2

Circumcision

Inflammation of the skin may cover the head of the penis. This can be caused not being circumcised and surgical removal of the foreskin. It can also be caused by lack of hygiene, diabetes and not washing the penis on a regular basis. Treating this kind of infection however depends on what has caused it.
