Damaged penis pt.3.Well I finally went to the doctor(s).A dermatologist and my urologist.I told the derm. about the Lotrisone and he said two weeks would not do any harm.But the nyastatin/triamcinolone that I used had thinned the skin on the left side of my penis.I used it only for three day intervals 6 times over three and a half months.He said it could have possibly permanantly thinned the skin.He said also it is much weaker than the lotrisone but can still have the same side effects.I went to my urologist who prescribed the nyastatin/triamcinolone.He said I see some skin change but dont worry about.The derm. really did not say there was anything to do for thin skin.you say atrophy is temporaryis there a chance of the skin thickness returning even after 6 months.Is there any treatment for strenghthing thin skin.I am only 30.How will this skin stand the test of time.The skin has never torn but it does get abrasions very easy.I only used 1/3 of a 30g tube.Why would urologist have prescribed something that would do this?he even gave me 3 refills.He is also a friend of the family.Help

As the dermatologist said Lotrisone has a stronger steroid than triamcinolone. Whilie it is in theory true that thriamcinolone can thin the skin 1) 6 times over 3 months wouldn't do it and 2) atrophy is reversible. It seems that the dermatologist is interpreting some whiteness as atrophy while the urologist is interpreting it just as color change. Abrasions can happen on any thickness of skin; atrophy would result in skin breakdown which you say is not happening. Lots of people use triamcinolone or the equivalent on the penis and nothing happens to them. There is in any case nothing to be done for atrophy but wait even if you have atrophy which I believe you do not. If you need added reassurance show the white patch to another dermatologist. But my advice is to keep the skin lubricated to avoid or minimize abrasions and just leave it alone otherwise. You'll be fine if you give yourself a chance.
