Where to go to obtain clarification of an unusual problem?

[edwardl007]

I placed this issue here at this forum because it is the most active and because I do intend to get an implant.

What is stopping me is that i suffered an injury to the head of my penis from an injection. I bled from a pin hole in the head. It has left me with a small area where the skin seems thinner and it becomes dark after i use a VED.

I googled the top 10 urology programs and wrote to them.So far only one responded. and no answer yet. I cannot fly around the country for an examination. So far, they only look at it ! I sent photos of the initial injury and my current state. Every doctor is mystified by this including Kramer. I fear going forward without knowing what condition my penis head is in.

What would you do to find out what caused this condition?

Just my opinion. You're looking for free diagnosis the way you're going about this. I would be very surprised if this method will get you much help.
I would suggest you to select an implant doctor. Then let him decide if your condition is one that he can successfully implant with. Their knowledge gets a lot clearer once you're a patient.

If I were in your position, I'd probably try to schedule an appointment with one of the top doctors in male sexual health or in implants. I'd lean toward one of the best implant doctors, since you're talking about getting one.

My choices would include Eid, Kramer, Hakky on the east coast or Karpman on the west.

Hope you get it all worked out.

That's a difficult situation.

If it was me, I'd start locally and work up from there.
Go to your GP first and get his opinion. If he can't help then ask him for a referral to a local urologist (or a dermatologist).
The urologist might have some idea what this condition is, and maybe a prescription for a steroidal lotion could help.
I would probably wait on the implant surgeons until you know what a couple of local docs think about this, just to save time & money.

How long ago was the injury ?

[oldbeek]

I had an allergic reaction to Levofloxin antibiotic and all the skin on my glans shredded off and bled. My GP sent me to a very skilled urologist. Both were confused. I asked my dermatologist. He diagnosed the problem and treatment right away. 3 years ago and skin is permanently very thin. Got an implant and use lots of lube. Be careful some creams make your skin thinner. See a dermatologist. It is skin.

Old beek,

So even though the skin on your penis head is thin, you have not had any erosion problems?

And to others..thx for the comments. I saw Kramer who quickly confessed he had no idea. Saw another implant DR who said the same thing.
