I have been to the doctors 3 times with this and once to the clinic. I think it may be lichen sclerosis. Under my foreskin, just under my head on the skin there, a white, raised patch of skin has grown and has been there for ages.
After I went to the clinic they gave me some daktacort (I think that's how you spell it, it's a hydrocortisone cream [I'm not sure if I'm spelling that right either!]). The cream worked for a while, now I don't think it is. Either that, or I'm not putting it on as regularly as I had been.
I can pretty much scrape the surface of it all with my nail and it more or less comes off. Yet the skin underneath is grey and it gets bigger and smaller at random. Then it comes back. It always grows back. It's so embarrassing!
I'm posting to see if anyone else has this problem, if anyone else can give me some advice?
And before anyone says it, circumcision isn't an option for me. Not only due to where it is, but I'm rather attached to my foreskin!
Thanks for reading if you got this far.
