Balantis for 4 years

Hello, im currently 18 yo, when I was 14/15 I first started noticing some red patches on the right side of the penis head, at that age I didn't think much of it and assumed the moment I went to the doctor they would have the answer and it would clear up. As I was extremely embarassed I put it off for 2 years and continued masterbating regularly, 2-3 times a day often. Only after it began appearing on the left side aswell did I summon up the courage to get it checked out. My primary physician perscribed me medication which did not work so I was sent to dermatology, after a few months of trying anti fungal- anti bacterial- etc.. pretty much all the topical medications, we eventually took a punch biopsy, which yeilded no results. This devistated me and still does do this day as I'm left with a chunk missing out of my penis head, which gave absolutely no helpful results. I was then sent to urology who told me I'd likely have to live with it. Long story short I later had V-Beam laser treatment for dialated blood vessels which was the only thing the biopsy showed, went to 4 treatments of that. I've finally ran out of hope for getting this fixed. I visited a balantis expert recently who was not able to diagnose it or give me any real answer as to what it truly is (of course not I know!)Which makes researching this topic extremely difficult and time consuming. He said It is likely scared tissue. Now it only seems to flare up when I have an erection, so being 18 throughout the night I have multiple uncontrolable erections which cause it to be extremly red and noticible when I wake up. 70% typically clears up by 5pm after a day of no sexual stimulant or masturbating. Does anyone know of a medication or remedy that might help, I feel that If I was not going through puberty and did not get erections throughout my sleep it would be much more clear. I recently tried steroid cream which only made it take longer to clear up. This has virtually ruined my life throughout high school, has nearly driven me to suicide multiple times, and I have recently had to begin anti-depressants (welbutrain) as all the hope I had is gone. Being told you have to live with what looks like a permenant std for your entire life before my life has began has broken me. I'm worried if the reality is that theres no solution suicide might become more of a posibility. I am only 18 but unsure of how much longer I can stand this constant cycle of hope and dispair. I'm greatful for any help or responses. I should mention I have psoroisis on my scalp and ankle, I used to have it on my knees, elbows, and shin aswell. I don't have any other auto immune conditions I know of yet besides psoroisis but my mother has lots of artheritis. I believe this is linked to my auto immune probelms which caused the already sensative skin to be even more susceptable to scaring when damaged. But It clears up throughout the day so I dont fully understand how it is 'scared'

my friend, by your description i was expecting to see something very clearly wrong and alarming. i have to say from the photo your penis looks generally very healthy and surely does not warrant you getting so worried and anxious about it! trust me, throw away all those dreadful thoughts in the bin. you are in good shape and what i can see from the photo looks like something very minor.
your biggest issue looks like the worry and anxiety, give yourself a break, because that worry does no one any good and only makes everything worse. count yourself amongst the fortunate for what i see, is something that is not of a real concern, looks like nothing compared to most of the posts on this forum and it is something that should eaisly clear up.
honestly the worst thing you can do is stress out, when you get stress and anxious your body greatly weakens its ability to heal and be healed.
so first you have to change your mindset,
the fact that you are so worried, shows that you care about your body. so if you care about your body send it some love and let your body and mind relax.
my guess is that you might be irritating the penis with the way you are washing it.
do you wash with regular soap or gells, or even shampoos?
do you wash vigerously to try and 'clean' your penis?
because all of those things can really cause alot of problems! you think you are cleaning your penis but you are actually damaging it.
you should relax, buy some specialist washing lotion for people with excema, you can eaisly find this at a pharmacy or even supermarkets.
wash gently and pat dry.
wear cotton underwear.
eat healthy, consider lots of greens, detoxifying herbs in tea every day, lots of water, low/no sugar.
there are also some natural oils that you can use to nourish the skin.
also drink aloe vera juice every morning. and apply pure organic aloe vera gel to penis.
if you masturbate only use natural oil like organic coconut oil or something that is gentle and healing for the skin, no chemical cheap crap.
follow a good regime for the next month or two and i bet it will start to clear up.
take care,
all is alright,
dont plague your life with anxiety
just take some steps in a good direction

thank you for the response, and I will definitely try out the foods/natural remedies. Although I only wash with water very gently and have done for almost a year now, for almost 3 years before I took this seriously I would often masturbate with soap which I believe damaged it. I have tried 15-20 topical creams at this point so as much as I appreciate your optomism I don't find those to be helpful. Regarding the anxiety, I agree with you on this that stress has probably not helped with it, I am currently on anti-depressents and am going to see my psyciatrist on friday where I will consult her about anxiety medication aswell. I do try to help my mental state by getting out, excersising, or hanging out with friends but the this has such a control over me. I will try the foods and natural remedies you suggested and follow up in a couple months. I should mention i recently began the auto immune protocal diet in hopes my diet might be affecting it.
