I am a 30 year old male from India, currently in US for 6-7 months. I will be here till December 2008. I have seb derm, rosacea and psoriasis on my legs-now in remission for about 4 years. Since December 2007, I have observed reddish inflammation on my penis glans, with a few grainy eruptions. I applied some betamethasone and it went away. Now from this April, the redness resurfaced, it goes away with steroids and comes back immediately once its stopped. So I have started applying OTC hydrocotizone 1% and from last Sunday I stopped it since it looked better. From then I have been applying Aveeno moisturizer. From Thursday, the inflamation was back and I still didnt apply hydrocotizone.
Last night I washed the penis in warm salt water and cleaned with Witch Hazel and applied some Aveeno before going to bed. When I woke up in the morning there was some dried blood on my clothes and I found blood on the glans, near the corona and frenulum and I felt there was a cut there. I cleaned it up, applied some clindamycin and its not bleeding anymore.
I am not so sexually active these days, as my wife is expecting and I masturbate may be once or twice a week. Last night I just slept off.
My penis still looks inflamed at least in parts. I don’t have health insurance and at present cant afford it either. My regular dermatologist is in India and I will get to visit him by end December. I have my rosacea, seb-derm medications with me like metro gel, clindamycin, elocon, betamethasone, nizral ,clotrimazole etc......from India.
Please advise me what to do......I feel pathetic....
