when is a cure a cure?

Well, I'm keeping going with my treatment, though a bit more haphazardly these days.

There is still a bit of a phimotic ring which causes a bit of tightness if I try and retract my foreskin completely during erection.

But I have no pain, no more tearing, can urinate completely normally and can function sexually like normal.

I am going to keep going to try and completely get rid of the phimotic ring and those weird bumps on the glans, and then hope they never come back, but I think that may take a few months.

But in summary, this treatment has worked for me. I went from painful erections, pain and tearing during sex and difficulty retracting my foreskin enough to have a clear path for urinating (and spraying all over the place) to normality. I have basically kept the foreskin retracted as much as possible, 24 hours. At night, I've applied a teaspoon of manuka honey all over the glans and phimotic ring, still retracted, and wrapped it in saran wrap (Glad wrap in New Zealand). During the day, I keep it totally dry. After showering, I dry it with a blow dryer (on cool) to get it all silky dry. I pull the foreskin back as much as I can a few times a day to stretch it. I don't do any other kind of stretching.

I don't wash it with soap - just shower gel once a day during showering. If I need to clean it after sex, I just rinse well with warm water (and blow dry again). Keeping it dry is essential to prevent secondary infections - a few of these started up on the lower shaft skin, because it gets all bunched up because of keeping the foreskin retracted all the time. Not using soap prevents infections/inflamations on the glans. This happened too, but quickly subsided when I realised what caused it.

So that's it. Obviously I'm not a doctor, and I don't recommend this as a treatment for anyone. I'm just putting it up on the internet for others to learn from. Always consult a medical professional, or two, or three for serious health issues.
