Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 29 year old unmarried male. I have phimosis from the age of 13. After constant stretching for three months, it cured. Now, I can easily pull back my foreskin in both flaccid and erect condition, but my tip of the foreskin is pinkish white in color. If I pull back my foreskin, that pinkish white color comes to the middle of the shaft. It will not irritate or itch. Please suggest a cream for getting the original color of my penis in that area.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the images sent by you (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The thing you are talking about is actually fibrosis ring, which was causing your phimosis. It is like scar tissue. It will not cause any problem as skin is getting retracted completely. The ointment will not make it like normal skin as it is scar tissue. As it is harmless, there is no need to worry. If you want to remove it for cosmetic purpose, then you need to undergo circumcision, but it is not advisable.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Can I apply Candid B cream?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, you can apply, but it will not be much helpful. As it is a scar, the fibrosis will not likely go.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
