Suggest Treatment For Skin Discoloration On Penis

I am experiencing discomfort on my penis Only on my foreskin. It all started with irritation and discoloration of the tip of the foreskin it is similar to vitilego type of things. I just went to see an urologist who prescribed a 1000 vitamin E and an oinment Elocom (furoato de mometasona) needs to be applied on around the collar of the glande and on the inner tip of the foreskin. Will I get the brown complexion of my foreskin back? Thank you

Hello
Thanks for query .Based on what you have described the discoloration of your foreskin is due to what is called as Ballaniis Xerotica Obliterance (BXO).

This is chronic Progressive inflammatory disease that invilves foreskin glans penis and gradually meatus and urethra .

Unfortunately the etiology of this disease is still not known.

Your Dr has rightly prescribed Vitamin E and steroid cream to be applied over foreskin .

This being a progressive disease the changes in colour of the skin are irreversible it is unlikely that you will regain the original colour of your foreskin .Steroid creams help to arrest or slow down the progress of the disease .
