Should I Remove Cyst On My Foreskin?

Ive got a benign cyst on my foreskin that I have had since a small boy. I recall (fortunately without much detail) having it lanced around 8-10 yrs but it came back. Is it worth having it removed - and what would this involve? Im now 43 in good health.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Small cyst which is present on your foreskin needs to be excused surgically. It could be done as a minor procedure under local anaesthesia.
Kindly consult Surgeon in this regard for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran.S.,
