Permanent symptoms

Posted , 4 users are following.

I was diagnosed with reactive arthritis 5 years ago due to a chlamydial infection and have come to accept the pain in my joints. But the one thing that never went away and really bothers me is the ulcers on my penis. They don't hurt but that look so bad and create a bad odor. Is there any way at all to manage this? There is no information anywhere. Thanks

    Hi Scott, thank you for sharing. You may want a healing salve to apply on your penis and your scrotum. Although you took the medication, dead cells are harmful.to.your PH. Ivy Sagarius

      Thanks for the reply. What kind of healing salve would work?

    What I did find out for sure is that it's called Balanitis Circinata, and that there are indeed treatments for it. My doctor seems stubborn enough to not want to look into it much further though. There's not a whole lot of information on the Internet about treatments for this exact condition but if anyone knows of anything more definitive, I'd love to take something back to my doctor to see if she might make more of an effort.
