Locoid damage on penis?

Hi, i did a big misstake. I used Locoid  hydrcortisone 0,1% on my penis for 7 weeks becouse i got peeling skin. I didn´t know how long to use it:( becouse my doctor didn´t say anything or warn me about long term use and side effects.

My penis turned very read, and i got thin skin.

It almost like it happend over 1 night becouse i never noticed it before. And i got like a bruce/wound on my foreskin on a part that i hadn´t used cortisone.

So i stoped using it and now 4 weeks later, my skin is still not returned to normal but it is better, have i got permanent damage?

the "wound" has healed.but my penis is still a bit read, and the glans is not as read as before men still it is a little bit read, but some part of the glans is not red at all any more.

If it will return to normal again how many months do you think it will take?

Is there any product you can buy that thicken the skin?

And one last ting my scrotum is red i havn´t used anything on there and i have had it for like 3months now, what can that be?

Try some "fruit of the Earth" Vitamin E lotion on it for a few days. Only use a little bit like 2or 3 pea sized dabs on your finger and rub it in thoroughly. if you cant touch your penis without it getting hard.. Do the smart thing and get three dabs and masturbate with it.. Be warned don't get it in the hole. It should be of help

Hi thanks for the answer.   Yes some improvements have been made.

But i think it maybe just is side effects that are temporary that has improved the most. My skin is still very dry, and parts of the foreskin are almost like "burned" but no wound atleast any more.
