Pulled back — living with a bare head

Quote from: PossibleMagician130 on 2024-04-05 18:24:31Holy moly, 10k is a lot! Hopefully you can get it settled for much, much less cheaper.

If the Miconazole or any cream is causing great discomfort, you shouldn't try to suffer through it. You can just wash it off with soap. I think it only takes half an hour for the cream to be absorbed through the skin anyway. Sure, maybe it's better to be on for longer, but you'd reduce your suffering time from 4 hours to maybe just 1.5

I hope you get some good leads you can act on! All the best buddy

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

US clinic got back to me. Good and bad news. Good news is that I can get an appointment with a Dermatologist for $350, and if a swab/biopsy is needed, could be another $350 to $1000 depending how complex.........but earliest appointment they can get me is until July.

Canadian STD clinic got back to me, saying they will ask the docs what, if anything, can be done for me. I expect the answer to be "We can't do anything, wait for your dermatologist appointment".  But we'll see.

I might cave and use the Fucidin for a week, and see how that goes. If it makes it worse, at least I have one more week to get to the dermatologist appointment.

odd question for this forum - and not even judging the actual idea, but more so not sure it's related to keeping our foreskins retracted

Quote from: PossibleMagician130 on 2024-04-05 06:01:42Apologies for the late reply. I got swamped by a lot of work and chores, and kept wanting to reply but then putting it off when I could get a break.......P.S: I wonder if ketonuria could be contributing to your penis condition? I've heard that the urine from a keto diet is extremely irritating

Thank you for your reply. You guys have been nothing short of awesome, that's rare nowadays.

I went to ER because after the Miconazole thing, I started getting shivers. I suspected it was just due to how much it irritated my glans, but at this point it was worth a shot just to get it noted on the system. If I get a blood infection, I can't say I didn't go to ER to prevent it.

It annoys me that I have to wait for a doctor to tell me they can't do anything. I have been thru this before with a different illness (now cured thankfully). Wait 5-6hr just to be told "we don't do anything here for that". They might as well tell me in triage and send me home with only 30min of my time wasted.

All I need is someone to scrape off some material, and have it analyzed. I can't believe what a mountain of red tape it is to get that done. When I came back from the hospital, I was hurting pretty bad, so I started using the only thing that originally helped: The Terbinafine cream, and as of this morning, I am a lot better. I'm basically back to the "pre-Miconazole" moment. No more shivers or chills.

I suspect it's fungal because, why is the Terbinafine helping? I am scared to use the Fucidin, and instead I'm going to try to wait for the April 22nd appointment, and in the meantime, I'm reaching out to some sexual health clinics to see if they have the ability to have a scraping analyzed faster.

I've also contacted a clinic in the USA that helps Canadian patients. If it cost me $10k to get this resolved in the States, I will do it. Let's see what they recommend.

Found a semi active German forum on the topic - yup, I'm still convinced it's a more common thing there...

Not so, there have been comments and questions from women genuinely asking questions, of their own or to inform their sons.

Have you tried palmarosa essential oil (Cymbopogan martinii): 1 drop no more to spread?

Hello, just wondering if everyone knows what has happened to the gallery. I was able to assert that last week but suddenly not able to.

I have already read the announcement and followed the steps. Thanks

Quote from: dryhead on 2024-03-06 17:07:55What is your opinion about the habit of some people to masturbate in urinal?

I do not agree to be put in such a situation, in close quarters with someone doing that. As a heterosexual male it's quite off-putting.

Experiences like these are often what the circumcision-fetish advocates try to bury or deny

Listening to their bullshit, naked propaganda and brainwashing and gaslighting for years and years has left me quite sick of them as people

I am not gonna go into details, but even my modest "trim" was every bit as painful and bothersome as you would imagine - and more. For WEEKS, My penis hurt in parts I didn't even know it had - and for about three weeks, I had to sit down like someone thirty years older than I actually am.

Don't even get me STARTED about not being able to have a wank for SIX DAMNED WEEKS.

I would NOT recommend anyone go through this. If anything, the experience made me MORE actively anti-circ- especially neonatal circumcision.  I mean- I cleaned the area hourly, and every time I went to the toilet, and still had to deal with minor swelling & actively protect against infection.  Imagine a baby having to deal with such a wound inside of a dirty diaper!!!  That should be a crime.
