I have a hairy penis which seems to be increasing in growth
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have had an increasing amount of hair grow on my penis shaft. I have been circumcised as a child, there were some complications as the penis was infected for a week or so after the op. The scrotal sack runs quite high (almost over half way) up the shaft. The shaft is covered in pronounced hair folicles which have been sprouting more hair over the last 15 years at increasing speed. For example, shaving used to leave the area smooth for days, but now not even hours.
A few years ago i took to tweezing the area every 3 weeks to maintain smoothness, but each time more would grow back so it would take longer to epilate and the time hair free would diminish. Now plucking would take several hours and would leave area free for only a few days. I have allowed the hair to grow out for months to ensure i am on the same growth cycle. It grows back too fast to maintain. It leaves the area painful for both partners during intercourse.
About 10 years ago i used retin a cream on and off on the area to cosmetically treat the appearence of the fordyce spots (oil glands) on penis.
I have tried home IPL treatmeants on the penile shaft for 6 months to no effect. Could it be an excess of shaving / tweezing stimulating growth? Running out of options on how to deal with this

do you know of affordable home laser kits? most are IPL which doesnt seem to work. And any clinic ive found wont touch the actual shaft with laser.

i've tried waxing. the contours of a penis make it really hard to get it cleanly.
i cant remember the first time i plucked it if its painful, but it's completely painless now. i even purchased an epilator that i can use on the area which doesnt hurt (except for when it nicks the skin, which is does often), but if i use it, say on my chest area, it's excruciating.

the same problem i have, due the circumcision that was done to me when i was infant as a tradition where i live, i have thick hair over the shaft, the scrotal skin expanded till almost the last third of the shaft to make up for the list skin, of course i lost the fine touch sensation and it feel like any other skin in my body, but still manage to have an erection.
shaving made the hair grow thicker, and it didn't give me the smoothness i need, tried tweezing but so painful mainly at the start, tried hair removal cream but gave me the same results as shaving.
I bought home laser removal kit and used it for few months after tweezing, it helped thinning the hair a bit but it kept growing.
I'm thinking of electrical hair removal but the medical centres specialized in this type of hair removal refused to do it because they were afraid of the complications that could happen since it is a very sensitive area.
I could not find any solution so far that could solve it permanently.
You could imagine how i feel about my parents and the kind of relationship i have with them, let's say I have not spoken with them since 4 years and I'm not planning to any time soon, may be when they are in their graves?
I'm sticking with tweezing every few weeks since it is the best thing so far.
