Used too much Hydrocortisone 1%. Will skin heal?

[Aussie54321]

Used too much Hydrocortisone 1% on my penis end (glans). Skin became thin and bruised more easily. It's been about a year or so since I stop using it. Skin was dry and chapped. Used about three quarters of a 15g tube on and off for a few months. Skin became transparent. Head went shiny and had a cigarette paper appearance to it.

A year or so later things are much better, but still experience a few issues such as some redness from bruising from thinned skin I suppose. Foreskin ring imprint on glans skin. Slight wrinkly appearance sometimes too.

My questions are. Will the skin get 100 % back to normal ? Has anyone experienced this and fully recovered ? How long does it take to return to normal; if it does?

If anyone has experienced this and is a few years in to recovery, or a year or so. Or however long it took. Then please let us all know how you got on, and whether you recovered or not 100 %.

Thanks all. And anyone thinking of using this on your johnson. My advice would be not to. Or be very careful.

I have been through this and still am to a certain extent. I contacted an online dermatologist. He said fastest recovery is within first 6 to 12 months. After this it can still recover but much slowly for 5 years. That's a further 4 years. 5 in total. But recovery between 1 and 5 years is very, very slow.

Sent him pictures as requested. He seemed to think a full recovery would take place. How he knows I have no idea but he felt it was still possible when questioned further but felt yes it would recover.

And bare in mind I sent him my worst pictures of late. All on all. Most of the time it looks normal. Especially when soft. When going from soft to erect wrinkles are noticeable. When erect some redness can show after excessive friction. Under flash capillaries can show but not always. Hope this helps.

I will also keep a journal on this subject as many people do not continue to post updates, which suggests they recovered.
