Sore on glans

Postby oldbeek » Tue Jan 30, 2018 1:35 am

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?

It concerns me that you have had this sore for three years. That doesn’t sound normal. If your current Primary Care Physician or Urologist have been unable to find a way to heal it in all that time, I would seek out the surgeon you would like to use for your implant surgery and express your concern about the sore and wanting it to be healed before you move forward. I concur with you that it could be problematic because your glans does get more pressure placed upon it with the device inside you.

I'm not a doctor, but Job One is to heal that sore. That is all.
Born 1948, wed 1969. BPH & Type II Diabetes at age 35. TURP-2002; ED even before that--diabetes. Cardiac valve surgery: 2007 & 2019. Poor results with pills. Started trimix injections in Nov, 2010. Great results from the very beginning.

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.

. Dermatologist says it is an allergenic reaction also related to eczema. Using Tacrolimus .1% ( related to Embril) many times a day. Seems to be getting better as I am being more conscious and treating it more often.
