inner foreskin STILL inflamed for months? Little help?

    hey guys, it’s been a while. Ignore whatever my count was or has been, it’s not true. I havn’t been here in months.

    So after 2 in a half tubes of Lotrimin (anti fungal), 2 weeks of antibiotics, and 2 cycles of twice a day application of a steroid cream (each cycle is 1 week) my dick is still not healed yet. It’s been 120 days and it’s really messing my sex life. It IS better guys, compared to where it was a month ago. And the steroid cream REALLY helps, but when I stop it the symptoms come right back. I know it can thin out my foreskin so I stopped this last cycle short a couple days.

    Symptoms are : Feels very raw like a sunburn. And itchy. At it’s worst is was both and really distracting at work. My inner foreskin is the only area that’s affected. It’s quite sensitive. The color of my foreskin can be really red or pink. When it looks better it’s fleshy but there are distinctive pink spots around my foreskin shows where it’s irritated.

    It can look better and feel worse, and feel worse and look better

    Yes..... I have been having sex and master bating with the foreskin over my head. It actually doesn’t hurt when I master bate , only when the foreskin is exposed. Whenever I have sex or masterbate symptoms come right back.

    But i’ve Been really good about not masterbating and I havn’t had sex and it doesn’t seem to be getting better. Although it feels better. Still red/pink and annoying when it rubs on my underwear.

    I’ve seen my primary doctor 3 times and a dermatologist once. Each time they tell me I have an “healthy” penis, so how awesome that is it’s really confusing. There’s no evidence of fungus or cancer is what they mean when they say that.

    Ok, i did have a couple rough masterbating sessions and rough sex sessions back in August, while forgetting to “wipe the dew off the lily” and not showering... opening me up for a balantasis infection. The doctors havn’t seen any evidence of it though but the dermatologist thinks maybe I did and the combination of that with continued friction from sex and masterbating is why it’s inflamed.

    Has anyone had something similar go on with them? I certainly have more info but I want to start with this

    I know man I know. I DID put it on, doesn’t do much. I’m at my ends wits. I wake up to my foreskin usually feeling like a raw and tender, especially if I have an erection. Sex hurts a lot. This steroid cream helps but as soon as i’m Off it it comes right back. I’ve been OBsEsSed about for the past 3 weeks since none of the treatments have been working. I can’t focus on anything else really

    One docotor may think it’s contact dermatitis? This one seems to be the only one that cares enough to make some quality guesses. The steroid cream I guess is awful for my penis, so i’m Not using those anymore. I was hoping someone on here had similar uncircumcised problems
     
  7. I agree.

    I’ve been on a obsessed frustrating research binge to find answers. Funny thing is (not really) I have a lot of blockers up so I don’t watch porn, so you can imagine all of the denying of websites just because “penis” is in the article.

    So i have an appointment at the end of the week, it’s getting better since i’ve Been putting Man1 oil on it. Perhaps too much rough sex and dry masterbating messed up my foreskin bad, making it wicked dry or something. Cause it IS getting better now that i’m Moistureizing it. My concern is this is a forever thing. I’ll always have to put lotion or oil on it and that would suck. Because sex is painful right now and it shouldn’t be.

    The up side is i’m Not masterbating or searching for porn because it’s not rewarding me! This the one positive thing that i’m Getting out of this. Maybe it’ll take 90 days to heal properly?? Blessing in disguise but for fuck sakes i’m Depressed about my sex life. I could care less about masterbating and porn, it’s been a real wake up call over the past few weeks

    As cold as it is, a lot of the research points to that for the cure. I very well could have aggravated my foreskin so bad that it cause a yeast infection, which now i’m Trying to deal with the after effects of it. Fucked up thing is no one can give me a straight forward answer... like i’m The only one with this problem?

    Or it takes such a long time to heal that any type of friction holds the healing process back. If i’m Addicted to porn that’s not gonna help, it’s probably how I got to this condition... rough masterbating and sex. Maybe it’s a trauma injury. I’m suffering and doctors can’t give me the proper diagnosis, so my willy still suffers from bullshit diagnosis.

    “Try this (4 weeks later) Try THIS (3 weeks later) TRy this (2 weeks later)” and on and on. It’s really messed up but i’m Hoping some pics I took will help the doctors better

    Bottom line is, if I get rid of my foreskin it’ll most likely cure the symptoms. I’m willing to wait it out for a while before I throw down $3,000 to get rid of something i really fucking want to keep

    Telling ya man, my cousin had the same issue with his willy, the issue didn't resolve itself for a long time, as most cases with all infections. I'm circumcised and I've never had an infection issue.
     
  17. Go down the list with your doc, is it:
    Bacterial
    Viral
    Fungal
    Irritation

    Get an STD test. Try jock itch spray.
     
  18. Let's say it's viral, something bad like the herpes. At least there's ointments and such. Or if it's the clap, you can take a few pills and get rid of it. Or if it's fungal, and you got jock itch in your foreskin somehow, easily curable just get the spray and if after you apply it bubbles and hurts like a mofo, you found the problem

    Alright, so it looks like it’s some kind of dermatitis. Like a type of psoriasis or something. I showed her some pictures on Saturday that clearly had a flaking or scaling look to it. Like really dry. I talked to her about my T line on my face, and how that gets flaky too. I tried all sorts of things and coconut oil seemed to tame it. Havn’t been back to the oil since and use lotion and that seems to help.

    So since Saturday i’ve Only been putting Man1 oil on it and each day it’s been getting better. Not all the way but at least the symptoms are waaaaaay down. Not completely but getting better.

    She basically said it’ll never go away but it can be controlled. She’s prescribed me a low steroid cream that’s SAFE and can be applied daily. Also... she suggested putting dandruff shampoo on it?? Very surprising to me. Obviously I won’t be putting head and shoulders on it. Thankfully I have an organic tea tree oil that helps A LoT with my dandruff, and is very safe according to a app called “think dirty” which finds harmful additives in products. This one has none which is great. I’m going to try that out as well.

    The big upside too all of this is i’m Now afraid to masterbate..... cause I don’t want to irritate it. So i’ve Been off porn for 2 weeks now. I’ve been surprisingly depressed over the past few weeks, feeling helpless smashing my head into a wall trying to find a diagnosis. I’m a lot calmer today knowing this. I can now focus on other things.

    Oh and I have an appointment in janurary where a handful of doctors will be doing a team huddle around my cock to try and figure it out. I’m open to it hopefully they’ll have some answers.... my doctor offered this option to me. Shitty part is i’ll Have to stop using anything to let it arise again.... I want some answers though
