Does this redness look normal. I’ve tested negative for STDs. I also saw a urologist and got swabbed for fungus which also came back negative. It looks super red and patchy after I shower or masturbate.
Could this be eczema? Gonna try to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist soon. I don’t use shampoo and I wear breathable underwear. The only thing I haven’t tried is unscented laundry soap which I plan to switch to.
Hey everyone been dealing with hemorrhoids for about 9ish months. Was messing around with ChatGPT and started asking how to get rid of the itch I was getting after bowel movements from my hemorrhoid. It suggested blowing drying the area dry after showering and applying Vaseline/aquafor or a zinc oxide based cream. I already had zinc oxides so I gave it a try. I apply a translucent amount. First time I put to much and it cause it to itch more.
With both drying and applying zinc I have gotten rid of the itch.
I hope some this can help some one.
Here is a picture of my glans while soft you can see some redness but doesn’t look that bad. When hard it turns more red and bumpy.
I am posting this after having a urologist visit that ruled out some things but I still think I have a skin condition. During the visit I did a urine test and a swab for fungus. Both came back negative for uti or fungus. I’ve done a std test all came back negative.
Does this look like eczema, psoriasis or something else?
Hey guys curious what good habits you’ve developed and what bad habits you’ve stoped in order to overcome your hemorrhoids or atleast mitigate them.
Recent had a pretty bad flare up after getting a pretty bad stomach ache and diarrhea from eating chick fil a. I think it had to do more with the fact that I ate 3 spicy chicken sandwich in 30 minutes. My hemorrhoid started poking out a bit which it hasn’t done that in a few months.
Some of the good habits I’ve developed or try to stick to have are:
-Eating a banana or two a day
-benefiber powder
-I’ve actually been squatting over the toilet in stead of sitting. I feel like the less time the hemorrhoid comes out the less discomfort you’ll get.
-bidet (bought a portable one)
-wet wipes when I don’t have my bidet.
-avoiding red meat.
-alcohol (work in progress, this seems to cause so itchyness even if I have one beer.
