Basically I think I have BXO, because there is this white area on my penis. Its underneath the head and also partially on my the inside of my foreskin. however, there are no hard lumps or skin like most of the articles that i read said. It looks more like its the skin itself, rather than something on the skin. I had this for a long time, and it has never bothered me. I did some research and quite frankly I'm kind of scared. Almost all the articles had the same information. and it listed symptoms like itching, pain, or being unable to retract foreskin of the penis. I can confirm that I have none of these symptoms. It doesn't itch, there's no pain, no irritation or anything whatsoever, this is why it has never really bothered my. however, it does look very much like what is described to be BXO, accept for the pain and itching etc. From what I have read, depending of the severeness of the disease, the only treatment that seems to be definitive is Circumcision, and I really don't want to resort to that. So my question is, how severe would my case be?, what are the possible treatments?

I'm sexually active. Circumcised. Always wear condoms, but occasionally one breaks. Last breakage was about 6 weeks ago. About 8-9 days ago the left side of my foreskin just below the glans itched like crazy. Within a few hours it swelled up and started overlapping the glans (as if I'm uncircumcised). The next day (probably 12-16 hours later), a couple oblong pus-filled blisters about 1/2 CM appeared on the foreskin. Part of the glans turned bright red in the area the foreskin swelled over. I assumed it was HSV 2 as I have HSV1 and the itchy sensation and related pain was similar. I'm already on 1,000 MG Valtrex so I didn't see a need to go to the doctor. The blisters survived a few days and merged into a large oblong pus sack about 1.5 CM. Shortly after it burst, the swollen foreskin turned bright red and began to shed. And there's quite a bit of yellow slime between the foreskin and glans. I wipe it clean 7-10x per day or it gets all over my inner thigh. I can't find any HSV2 pictures that look quite like this or match the blisters. My blisters seemed much larger than the HSV 2 pics. I've seen a few syphilis pics that look somewhat similar, but the description of symptoms doesn't seem to fit well. Plenty of balanitis pics match, but the sources say it's quite rare in circumcised men. Any ideas? I can't get to a doctor for at least a week (work assignment out of town).

I am 28 years old. I was using lemon juice on my face for fair and toned skin and it proved quite effective but my beard and mustache started turning white. Someone told me to use tomato juice or potato juice instead of lemon juice to avoid white hairs. my question is that will tomato juice or potato juice will be helpful to get a fair and toned skin without turning my hair white.

I have thick white discharge, lower abdominal pain, and white scaly rash and red pimple like bumps near vagina . I took pics but not sure how to upload. Is this a bad yeast infection (I recently had and medicine didn't work) or is this an std!

I don't know to explain this... as long as I remembered i'm suffering this when I was still in college. Now i'm working for almost ten (10) years now. Here's my concern: Every morning (not all times, but most often) in my nose there is always a spotted while spot like lesions grouped together then after I took a bath it leaves a red spot that makes my nose reddish appearance.

It started 2-3 months ago, i felt some pain so i scratched it a little. It started to pain badly, i was scared at first, so i stopped touching it. After 1 week, everything was fine.
But yesterday i scratched it again(was feeling irritated), so now it's really big and hurting a lot too. I am not able to sit properly. Whenever i touch it, it hurts me deep.

I'm a 24 year old guy. Not a virgin (not sure if relevant) and I have a white lump / or white clot along the lines of my penile raphe. I've had it since I was a teen and I've noticed that it's getting bigger over the years. I'm worried and fear that it might endanger my health in the future.

I do have an appointment booked with GP. Its about 7 ,months since I had my vasectomy, and still experience pain in the left side, sometimes it does get uncomfortable and sore. What I have noticed too is my penis smells and I often get a small build up of white stuff on the penis head under my foreskin. I wash it every day, but notice it seems to happen once I start urinating, I haven't notice any change of smell when I urinate though. Can infection be caused this long after the procedure?

I am 23 yrs old and i have this problem that i have a white discharge from my vagina.
sometimes the quantity is less and sometimes more and sometimes doesnt happen. sometime back i got white thick discharge which was watery but it got stretched. i was like a chewing gum which i could take out by pulling off my vagina. after it dried on panty, showed as light yellowish lump or so. it also came out after bowel movement or even pee.. the quantity got lesser on its own , then i had my xams and that time it again started but was not the type i told, it was just simple liquid which when dried got into flakes.
after that for sometime it almost stopped except for after orgasm.
currently its like usual discharge but in a lesser quantity only.( also i got more red lumps like small mass during my period flow)
i dont know and worried regarding this. is it normal?
ALSO The second thing is that when i get aroused the vagina gets wet but now it pains while getting wet naturally unlike before.

So for about a year now I have been struggling with what two doctors have told me is balanitis. I have tried a countless number of treatments many of which have helped significantly however I can never quite get it to completely go away. I am going to be quite specific so there will be a lot of details, first off it all started about one year ago, roughly a month or two after having sex for the first time. About a month after my first time having sex I started developing some symptoms such as a white discharge and an inflamed foreskin, I went to the doctor and had a full STD check. I came back negative for everything except for Streptococcus which was causing my symptoms, within a few days of taking some antibiotics I was fully cured (I should note that the doctor said he did not think the streptococcus was sexually transmitted, I should also mention that at this time I had reasonably bad phimosis). Anyway I’d say about a month passed after this and one day in the shower I noticed that some of the skin which was visible under my foreskin had a whitish discolouration, immediately I went up to my doctors and they told me this was balanitis. I was prescribed ‘pimafucort’, a mix of hydrocortisone and anti-fungal. I used this cream for a week or so and it took away all the whitened skin, it was difficult to apply due to my phimosis however I made do. I kept using this cream for a while after the whiteness had gone as I was told it would help get rid of my phimosis which it almost fully did. However, what I observed as my foreskin became more and more stretchable was a lesion/inflammation on the top side of my penis head (pictures below). I kept applying the cream to this and found that while it helped it never fully got rid of it, during this time I had did repeatedly visited my doctor to get his opinion however he said just to keep trying as sometimes this can be a difficult area to treat. He also gave me another option of cream ‘miconazole’ however this never fully worked either. A few months down the track of using these different creams things were getting better and then worse again however I finally stopped completely as I felt as though the creams were damaging my skin. Something I would like to note here is that during the time between curing the streptococcus and diagnosing the balanitis I had started taking 100mg of minocycline for my skin, I have found some research online which suggest this drug causes lesions on the penis and thus causes balanitis (Just something to think about). Desperate for another treatment I turned to coconut oil, within a matter of hours of using some my balanitis had almost reduced to nothing however as usual it got to a point where it was really good but wouldn’t quite fully heal and eventually my maintenance for it would slip and it would get worse again. That pretty much sums up the cycle I have dealt with for the past year, finding new ways to make it better but never enough for it to fully go. Below are some pictures of the balanitis at different stages, some you can see where it was almost cured and some where it was quite bad. I should note that it never gets uncomfortable/painful or worsens beyond its current lesion size, only on one occasion has it started producing a discharge but that was when I had not cleaned for a few days due to a camping trip. I cured this by cleaning and applying a mix of pimafucort and miconazole. If anyone has some advice for me you have no idea how much I would appreciate it I am desperate to get this cured as it really starting to affect my life.
Attempted Cures –
Hydrogen Peroxide
Coconut Oil
Pimafucort
Miconazole
Garlic
Sugar Free Diet (This may have been working however it is very hard to use this diet given my lifestyle)
Probiotic pills

I’ve had a red/inflamed penis head for a couple of years now. My foreskin is tight when erect, which I think means I have mild phimosis (of which balanitis is often connected to).
Symptoms include - slight odour, red/inflamed, sore to touch, a bit of white/cream smegma build up around the head. Because I am not sexually active, it cannot be an STI and it is for that reason I have never thought much of it - I often rinse it in the shower, but have never really thought of going to the doctor, because it doesn’t really hurt that much.
From what I’ve researched it looks like fungal Balanitis. Can this be fixed with over the counter 1% Clotrimazole Canesten Cream? If so, I would like to try this first and then go to the doctor, if it doesn’t.

I'm a 26yo uncircumcised male. I've noticed a couple of times I have some red spots in my glans and the inside of the foreskin. This are not painful and they disappear quickly (a night, a day or so) and I've had a few recurrences. I notice sometimes white mucus, which it think it's smegma.
Apparently I got a negative test a few weeks ago, which the laboratory told me it was normal to get 0.00. However this was done before 8 weeks of my last contact.
Questions are:
1. Does this sound like Balanitis?
2. In which cases is balanitis a sign of herpes? Only during initial infection? Or recurrences too?
3. If it is caused by herpes, could it be painless? Could it be accompanied with smegma?

I am looking for some information to (hopefully) calm my nerves. I had unprotected oral and protected vaginal sex with an escort 16 days ago. After about 12 days I started to develop Balanitis symptoms on the head of my peniswhich was preceeded by a slight burning sensation in the genital area for about a day.
The symptoms have now almost cleared up but I am stressed about herpes potentially being the cause of the symptoms.
There has been no pain and no blisters of any sort but there was a slight itchy feeling from time to time in the genital area although that may well have been because of my imagination running wild.

I think I have been suffering from mild, untreated Balanitis for a few years now. I have read that the most common way to clear it is to use Clotrimazole cream. Is this correct? I believe it is over the counter from a Chemist. If so, how long should I apply the creme for to completely rid of the fungus?

I'm a 20 year old male. A little over a week ago, the top of my penis reddened, became painful to touch and swelled up. A few days later the pain dissipated and there isn't as much redness, however the swelling remained. After some research, I came to the conclusion that this was caused by balanitis. The following day, I noticed pinkish spots/rashes on the inside of my thighs. I did some more research and discovered that this was a yeast infection, particularly candida. I read that it's not unusual as both were caused by the yeast.
I'm going to purchase Canesten. I was just wondering if this would work for both the yeast infection and the balanitis? If so, how would I apply it to my penis? It's very swollen therefore very tight, and it physically pains me to retract - I can't even expose the head fully. Would it have to be applied to the penis itself, or will I find a solution if I were to apply it to the foreskin?
