Lots of great responses here. I truly appreciate it, fellas.
Going to document things here every week or so, as this has been a bitch to deal with and maybe it'll help some guys in the future.
This has been a pain in the ass and I wouldn't wish it on any of you.
My plan of attack after gathering all the info presented here and looking around online:
- Rest, rest, and more rest. No orgasms, sex, or masturbating for the foreseeable future. At least 7-8 weeks.
- Go to the best urologist in my area next week. Calling for an appointment tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll find someone who actually gives a shit about the issue and can prescribe more than a cream.
- Applying Man 1 Oil every night. This appears to be a penile health cream filled with nutrients needed for supple, strong dick skin.
- Lay off the gym just a bit. I go every day and the friction from my compression shorts does aggravate the area just a little bit. I'll cut back to 3/4 times a week. Plus, this should allow my body to focus its healing properties on my dick skin a little more. Bro science.
- Supplementing with high doses of Vitamin C, @ 4/5 doses of 3,000 mg a day.
- Also taking Vitamin E, Collagen, Cod Liver Oil, and Alpha Lipoic Acid. This should aid the healing process.
- Start eating a semi-paleo diet and get back to juicing vegetables. Taking a probiotic and paying close attention to any symptoms of candida.
- Using a moisturizing lotion on the area after a hot shower post-gym 3-4X a week.
- If no improvement comes after 3/4 weeks on this regime, I'll start looking into antifungal creams like Canesten. A few friends believe it could be a fungus that doesn't manifest in a rash.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Through this protocol, I hope to cover all my bases and begin seeing some improvements.
