View allI'm experiencing some discoloration on the top part of my glans after being treated for secondary phimosis with a cream from a dermatologist. Theres no pain or irritation, but the doctor mentioned it could be LSABXO and might not be treatable. Is there any way to treat this discoloration, and if it's not treated, what could happen? Also, I've noticed I can keep the foreskin retracted without feeling any tightness. Is it okay to do this auto-circumcision all the time?
Discoloration Treatment and Potential Complications 1. Treatment options: For the discoloration, similar to vitiligo, treatment options are limited. Your dermatologist may recommend: - Topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. - Topical immunomodulators to modulate the immune response. - Phototherapy, such as narrowband UVB, to stimulate repigmentation. 2. Potential complications: If left untreated, the discoloration may: - Persist or worsen over time.

I've been dealing with this burning sensation in my penis and anus for over a month, and sometimes it's painful. Most times, it's either one or the other, but occasionally it's both. I also notice a bit of pain when I pee. My GP checked me out, said it might be a prostate issue, and all the STD tests came back negative. He prescribed me cipro for 10 days, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I'm really concerned and would appreciate some guidance. What should I do next?
That could be microbial infection,do not neglect, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management and maintain personal hygiene.
