Throwaway account, naturally, but... I had a much more severe skin bridge, three different ones in fact including one of which was about a half inch across and two others much thicker than yours. I went through 20+ years, with the latter part knowing this wasn't natural and being afraid to do much interaction with others because of it. I learned what it was on the Internet but never had the courage to go in for it. Pretty humiliating experience either way.
So, one day some years back I decided I could do the procedure myself. Except, I also had no idea what I was doing and had no sterile materials or anything of that nature. It was a spur of the moment thing. I ended up using....... A toenail clippers. I just remember borderline passing out and my vision became pure white as I was going through it. No anesthetics, nothing at all. I tried to put an ice cube on first but don't think that helped at all. I did one bridge one day, another a month down the road, and the big one several months after that in two intervals. All using a toenail clippers and nothing else. Because of this method, I failed quite horrifically and now have pretty awful and apparent scars and skin residue on the head from each one. They are less visible if erect but still very much there. All I did to help the bleeding was tape a bunch of toilet paper on, and a bandaid. Now I still contemplate doing something to cut down the scars / skin tags a bit. Fuck circumcision and whatever else caused this and my parent(s) for not doing anything about it when I was little and acting like nothing was unusual. This issue is multiplied by me having pretty serious Fordyce Spots all around (a so-called "common" condition but not really). Have not had sex or done really any dating because of all this for fear of the other thinking its a STD. Terrible. At least I didn't get infection, I guess.
