Need advice please
Hi all
Been told I have either Balanoposthitis or BXO/Lichen Sclerosus.
I’ve been given glob steroid cream and told to wash with Dermol500. The urologist is advising circumcision.
I have no idea if my case is mild or severe. I kind of feel like it’s extremely severe and honestly it’s ruining my mental health, confidence, sex life and relationships.
My routine at the moment is clob every day, dermol500 wash & aquaphor on dry / thin skin.
When it settles down I use clob 2/3 times a week.
I guess my questions are which parts are inflammation (is it the red parts?), if I get circumcised, would it really make a difference as it looks like LS has impacted my glans and is causing inflammatory issues there, in addition my frenulum has deteriorated and I worry I’ll lose all sensation.
Lastly, is this pretty severe or is there hope?
In an ideal world I’ll get circumcised, continue my treatment method and it will settle down on the glans. However I do worry it’s just going to get progressively worse over the course of my life. I’ve had some dermatologists state it isn’t LS and just Balanoposthitis, had some state it’s both that and LS and some state it’s just LS. I guess I just wanna see if anyone has similar symptoms and if they’ve improved or any other treatment methods?
Thanks and god bless you all.
