How Can I Tell Whether It is Thick Skin or Cartilages Causing my Bulbous Tip?

1125anon
Hello, How can I tell whether it is thick skin or cartilages causing my bulbous tip? I know that surgeons will be able to tell but I would prefer to have an idea of whether it is thick skin or wide cartilages causing it before I have a consultation. If it is think skin it would represent a problem right? Thank you.
