Botched circumcision

So basically when I was a baby, my parents wanted me to get circumcised. We were in a 2nd world country at the time, I don’t know the exact reason but my aunt was the one who performed the circumcision and I believe she may have messed up as I now have odd skin formations such as a skin bridge on the shaft where I was cut, a large looking frenulum and a singular bump slightly below. I have been conscious of this since I was about 9 and I’m about to turn 19. I had an appointment set up with the GP on my 18th birthday to check it and was told since it’s non cancerous I should just leave it. This is probably the only insecurity I have and I’m considering seeking surgery.

If you are not happy with the response from your GP then you should ask for a second opinion. Although the waiting list for NHS surgery may be long, a urologist should assess you and make a recommendation. If this was due to poor 'surgery' when you were young then there should be an option for this to be corrected.
I would strongly recommend you go to a specialist circumciser. NHS doctors don’t pay any heed to desired styles of circumcision so there would be no guarantee that you would end up with the desired outcome. Seek out a highly recommended circumciser like we did when we had our sons circumcised.
