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?

Can semen really get through clothes? I've heard that sperm can move with seminal fluid and get through two layers of clothing. Should I be worried about this?

Yes, it is possible for sperm to pass through two layers of clothing along with seminal fluid. However, the chances of sperm successfully reaching the vagina and resulting in pregnancy in this scenario are very low. To reduce the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, it is important to use proper protection such as condoms.
