Thinner Penis Skin due to topical steroids- what to do

I had a small bout of psoriasis on my penis, and a dermatologist prescribed a very strong steroid as a first course of action. I have been dealing with thinned, painful skin that fissures easily for years. Of course, this doctor didn’t bother to mention the life-altering side effects.

I go up and down in terms of things being okay and then not. I’ve sort of accepted that this will be a life-long struggle. Creams I use are Bionect, and Calendula.

I’ve tried homeopathy, Chinese herbs, you name it. I feel like I’m running out of options.

I would recommend trying to find a provider that really wants to work with you and be your champion, because there is no easy solution.

Another thing to consider is a sex therapist for the mental aspect of this and figuring out how to work with what’s going on.

Do you have this issue? What has it hasn’t worked? I’d love to get a conversation going.
