Too much foreskin removed.

Keep taking pictures. Write down the date, time, and gist of any voice conversations with any medical or legal people on the subject of your penis. I’m serious; paper records can be your ally *if you keep them consistently*.

Bad: as far as I know, there’s no approved urological procedure that can help you. There *might* be something in plastic surgery, but it would be a non-standard procedure and probably prohibitively expensive. I have some nasty scars on my shaft; from personal experience, I know urologists want nothing to do with that, and the plastic surgeons want nothing to do with dicks. If it was a big scar on your face, no problem, but not there.

Good: there are skin-stretching techniques, mostly used by the “foreskin restoration” guys, that will give you enough skin to have a normal erection, but it takes a long time, and it won’t restore the nerves you lost; it just spreads the ones in the remaining skin out over the stretch.

This is shockingly bad. They didn’t just remove your foreskin, they removed it entirely and nearly all of your shaft skin. I was circumcised when I was a few weeks old and was left with less than 1” of shaft skin before the scrotum skin started on the underside of my adult penis. It’s not so bad now after years of restoration and finally electrolysis to get rid of the scrotum hairs half way up my penis.

I truly hope you find a way to get some of it back and are properly compensated for the mutilation.

(Somehow my arms must have a filter that prevents my curse words from being typed)

My circumcision was totally failed. They cut the foreskin way to high. In the days when I used to be able to have erections the cut foreskin(circumcision scar-line) would be right smack in the middle of my erect penis(I have a rather large member especially girth 6.7 inches or 16-17 centimeters). Over time I lost more and more feeling. Last years I had sex(3 years ago) only the back(uncircumcised part) had feeling and I could not ejaculate during sex(except on rare occasion’s and then always with the woman riding me). Good luck dude.

Just a quick update. Seen by GP who agrees that the amount removed seems excessive. Waiting on referral back to urology. A solicitor (well 2) are wanting to take the case on, not signed anything yet though.

Keep after it. They’ll try to stall things until you give up.

Pictures and paper are your friends.

That doesn’t look good, luckily skin is the easiest part of the penis to stretch.

Once you heal up an extender could be a good option.

I agree with this. I dream of having your pre op foreskin issue, versus having zero foreskin basically on underside. I was cut like you were here but at birth. I hope you healed okay and also hope you were able to sue for malpractice.

Unfortunately Pank hasn’t logged in since 2022. I’m curious as to how he’s getting along, too.

Like most Americans of my generation I was circumcised at birth, and I’m perfectly happy with it. But given how many, many stories (some with ugly pictures) I’ve seen of botch jobs, I don’t think I’d have it done to a child, nor could I confidently recommend it to an adult.

Pank is in the UK, and as I understand it, medical injury liability and attendant law is considerably different from how it works in the various American jurisdictions; I was hoping he would give us a ground-zero overview of things.
