One of the entry points developed a small raised bump. This is my third round and Ive never encountered this.It's the size of a small pimple and very noticable. Is anyone familiar with this and how to treat it? Chat GPT is leaning towards a tiny epidermoid (inclusion) cyst or a small trapped keratin plug ?

The Epidermoid cyst and keratin plug are not out of the question, but even then I don't believe they present anything immediately concerning (in fact I used ChatGPT to refresh myself on those skin/injection anomalies since most aesthetic bumps discussed here are typically superficial nodules as a result of fluid/filler accumulation, or granulomas, and rarely anything in between). Depending on the diagnosis and the significance/size of the bump, treatments include punch-excisions (and similar techniques), or even the passage of time (some bumps resolve on their own). If you find it too problematic aesthetically to wait, you can have it examined and removed locally, I doubt you'd want to travel International for a 5-minute process that doesn't involve a deep expertise in penis enlargement, but if they happen to be familiar that's always a plus (in fact, I'd recommend a Dermatologist, [ @Dr\_Sullivan](https://phalloboards.info/forum/user/6769476-dr_sullivan.html) is an option if you are close to Florida). If you intended on going back to Avanti Derma for general-touchups (and/or more girth), then maybe it's worthwhile waiting at least that much time if you can. Otherwise you have options, so you can take comfort in that. With a entry-point nodule, I can't say for certain when it would be deemed "late onset," (6 weeks? 6 months?) which would make it peculiar to me (because typically they tend to be noticeable early on). Due to its appearance now, I would mostly monitor if & how it changes -- specifically if it gets bigger in size, reddens, warmness, becomes tender or painful, or begins to open and/or puss. If it remains as is (as I expect it to), I suspect it's related to one of the culprits we've discussed here (entry-point nodule, epidermoid cyst, or keratin plug), and fortunately given the size and location of this bump, sounds very manageable. If you have pictures that could help.

This particular entry point was stubborn and would open randomly. I would say it closed for good around the fourth week. It is pink, not tender to the touch, very sub surface, somewhat elongated like a grain of rice now that I examine it more. I'm in RI so I do not plan on visiting Avanti until I determine whether or not I want a final polishing up. I would prefer to have it taken care of sooner than later but I'm willing to wait another couple months to see if it flattens out. It's most noticable Flaccid, with an Erection it kind of blends with the other tissue. My concern is that it very noticable and would probably be mistaken for an STD if seen Flaccid. #### Attachments: - ## Hello Gentlemen!

I'll be frank, at about 7 weeks post-op, I'm not sure any additional "massaging" of that Nodule will help diminish it (in fact it could be abrasive and have the opposite effect), but you should check with Avanti Derma to see if there are any topical remedies worth considering in the interim (probably won't be anything that gets rid of it, but may be able to reduce its "footprint"). On the matter of waiting a couple of months, this could help determine: [1] if time alone seems to work in your favor and it begins to diminish on its own; [2] if it's a real concern, because in that time you'll absolutely exhibit signs if this was anything more than a benign artifact from the injection process; or [3] whether you pursue the Avanti polishing route -or- to have it addressed locally (assuming it remains mostly as is).

Im split between it being a PMMA Nodule or keratin pearl. Im leaning more towards Keratin pearl because I expressed a very very small amount of white paste like material from it a few weeks back. It appeared to have a very small white center also. I have since stopped manipulating it by squeezing. Avanti is generalizing it as a minor irregularly remaining through the healing process. They mention the bump may continue to improve while the tissue heals and settles over time. They also mention the possibility of steroid injection if the irregularly does not improve after approximately 6 months.
