am I cooked? is circumcision the ONLY thing I can do?
I had a phimosis when I was a kid. Managed to cure it (I don't know if you can tell but I have absolutely 0 issues pulling my foreskin) but too much cortisone was used in the process.
As a result a part of my skin has lost its elasticity and I now have to apply almond oil (a lot of it) many times during the day, else my skin breaks and it hurts a lot. Initially I only had to apply it once every 2-3 days and just in little amount, meaning it got worse as years went by.
Recently, my skin has also started to smell, so at first it was only a matter of enduring the pain in the ass of having to put an oil on my skin, now it also causes me embarrassment.
Every single specialist I've been to (dermatologists, urologists, general practitioners) has told me I should get a full circumcision (or almost full) done.
I'm writing in here in the hopes that another soul in this world has had my same issue and has found another way to cure it. Otherwise on wednesday I'll go to the clinic and get in queue for the surgery. Thank you
