blotchy penis glans
Posted , 4 users are following.
im a uncircumcised sexually unactive male. Ive been diagnosed with balanitis. Ive been struggeling with smegma build up. I used a prescribed cream that didnt work so I changed soaps and started taking probiotics. The smegma build up cleared up but now my glans have slightly red blotches on my carona area and when erect my glans have small red veins. I practice good penile hygiene. can it be a yeast infection? Any advice would be appreciated.

There'd probably be no harm in using an anti-fungal cream for a few days such as Canesten or Daktarin, available over-the-counter at pharmacies, to see if it helps.

Stop using soap. Your foreskin and glans are a mucosal tissues which is sensitive to soap. Also you have a symbiotic relationship with good bacteria under your foreskin so you help each other out and they protect you from bad bacteria. When you use soap you get rid of good bacteria and invite bad bacteria. Red blotchiness is a sign of a yeast infection. Soap also dries mucosa and, like your lips, you will get cracks from dryness. Use only running water and clean fingers to gently rub the surface of your foreskin and glans. The veins can be completely normal but I can't tell without seeing you

Hello Wee Dugie, I am still learning so obviously not everything I say is what needs or is happening
but, I happen to be the only one specifically learning everything about the foreskin. You see, everyone seems to have a very poor thought about this part of the body, but in reality it's just a social stigma that Americans use. Our government not only says it's healthier to remove but they also profit off of the surgery itself and what they can use with infant foreskin such as makeup that supposedly makes you look younger and other things, which I find extremely disturbing. Nonetheless I know more about the penis than most doctors.
I am here to help as long as I have the time and im not bombarded with questions from 1k people overnight 😉

So it is 'welcome aboard' then tangki! Obviously, there is a lot that I could ask you, just myself. It was interesting to learn about US 'foreskin policy'. The only question I will ask from that, then, is, what % of the US male population are circumcised as infants?
And no, I don't think you will be bombarded - you just need to select the discussions you get involved with, or alternatively, respond to them all if you so wish! - W.D.

We really don't have a policy honestly. In the only one I've seen refuse to do children and educate people on the subject. Anyone else just thinks it's a flap of skin. As a result the circumcision rates in 1950s around 90 percent of males were cut as an infant. Now, in 2012 the rates were 52 percent as result of the internet becoming widespread and people researching to better their lives. I was circumcised a day after birth and had so many problems growing up. All of the issues I suffered from caused my to lose a testicle at 16 and I lost my ability to have kids by the time I was 20. I have meatal stenosis which causes UTIs monthly. I've had 7 surgeries in a year . The worst complication I had was that they took way too much skin. As I went through puberty, I started getting erections and due to my tight skin my penis would try to deglove itself. This required stitches every time. My parents thought I was cutting myself and my entire town found out. Only one time was it that I cut myself and that was when I cut loose an adhesion.
America sucks.

It's good to know there are people within the US health system who are motivated to respect baby boys' rights to be left intact. I'm sorry that it may have been influenced by such a tough set of experiences for you.

There are quite a few of us actually, it just takes a while to remove the brainwashing that's been done. And get through the hard she'll that mothers seem to have. Men are more comfortable with understanding whereas women have a harder time admitting they were wrong and continue to do it to their kids. Women who haven't had kids want nothing to do with circumcision it seems, they just don't know how to care for them and want to retract the foreskin in infancy- this Is a big no no.(foreskin is fixed to the glans until puberty)
There isn't a thing I can do about fixing most of my issues but at least I can prevent it from happening to others and that is more than I could ever hope for.
