I'm experiencing some discoloration on the top part of my glans after being treated for secondary phimosis with a cream from a dermatologist. Theres no pain or irritation, but the doctor mentioned it could be LSABXO and might not be treatable. Is there any way to treat this discoloration, and if it's not treated, what could happen? Also, I've noticed I can keep the foreskin retracted without feeling any tightness. Is it okay to do this auto-circumcision all the time?

Discoloration Treatment and Potential Complications

  1. Treatment options: For the discoloration, similar to vitiligo, treatment options are limited. Your dermatologist may recommend:
    • Topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.
    • Topical immunomodulators to modulate the immune response.
    • Phototherapy, such as narrowband UVB, to stimulate repigmentation.
  2. Potential complications: If left untreated, the discoloration may:
    • Persist or worsen over time.

Can varicocele heal on its own with yoga or other natural methods without needing surgery Also does frequent masturbation cause varicocele to develop

Varicocele typically doesn't resolve on its own and may even worsen over time. Surgery is often the most effective treatment, though some lifestyle adjustments or exercises may help alleviate symptoms. Frequent masturbation does not directly cause varicocele, but can lead to temporary discomfort or pain.
