Sore on glans

[Larry10625]

I have a wound on the top of my glans right on the ridge that I have been trying to cure for the past3 years. It was caused by a reaction to a drug. Just the incontinence pads have been a trial. The sore gets raw if I do a lot of walking. Some days I bandage it up.( Wish I had my forskin). I am contemplating an implant. If I have it a little pumped as some suggest, I am fearful that it will rub raw. Any suggestions as to which brand implant would be best for my condition? Does one lay better than the other when flaccid?

Make an appointment with a dermatogogist... other doctors are just guessing. Trust me.

The antibiotic is Levofloxin that caused the problem. It attacked the skin inside my mouth and on my glans. Both areas exploded and started to bleed. This is a very bad antibiotic for some folks. It also attacks the immune system in some people. AND it never goes away. My GP sent me to a URO immediately. It bled for a week and the inside of my mouth also bled. I am also seeing a oral surgeon regularly. Now being treated by a dermatologist as well as the URO that did my RP. It is getting better with cream applied every time I urinate. But still there in the background.

Hi oldbeek;
What you are describing is the same thing I have (BXO aka LS) There is no cure yet BUT there are some treatment. If left properly untreated, it gets really inflamed and bleeds and then sex is impossible because the girl juices will feel like you just poured gasoline on it. I am not a doctor... not by a long stretch but, it took me about 45 years to find something that worked. Finally, my doctor found something that works. Ask your DERMATOLOGIST about it.
CLOBETASOL PROPION 0.05%, (at first until it calms down) and then,
KETODERM AND 1% HC POWDER .
This works for me. Keep me posted on how you're doing.

Larry,

OK, I get the Clobetasol as that's in the same family as the Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream my doctor prescribed me.

The KETODERM appears to be an anti-fungal, so OK if needed. Maybe like my doctor threw in the Silver Sulfadiazine Cream with me for good measure "just in case something else was going on". It's an antibiotic and kills yeast. I've found it generally unnecessary.

What the heck is 1% HC POWDER???

Didn't think I had a group problem. My GP prescribed several years ago, Nystatin and Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment but dermatologist said that would thin my skin. So he switched me to the other ointment. When erect the glans looked like I only had seran wrap over the blood vessels. Scary. Any amount of vaginal sex and that layer would wear off. Going to ask Derm about the foam. Going to follow through more thoroughly with the Dermatologist. I see him every 3 months for skin pre cancer spots. The problem I have with him is he always has these very young girls in the exam room assisting him. I guess I have to get used to throwing it out there and say look at this. After the implant maybe I will go in with about 10 pumps on it and scare them off. LOL

Tried to check if GoodRX gives you a decent discount.

Regarding laying better.
The AMS implant has softer cylinders. That look more natural when deflated.
My Coloplast titan is pretty rigid, but will soften over the next year.
You can read all about the differences between Coloplast and AMS ad nauseum on this site
Search for AMS vs Coloplast. You'll see plenty to read.

Cheers!
