The redness has been attributed to a sort of jock itch that the hydrocortizone was probably making worse. He has prescribed anti-jock itch medication and the wearing of a jock strap (which is the silliest thing to happen to me so far).
Anyway, he says they're unrelated due to being on opposite sides of the penis, though obstructed blood flow may contribute somehow to the slow healing.
All of this hitting together really messed with my head and made me pretty anxious - especially after looking up the one in a million chance that shaft cancer was somehow the culprit, but as long as things don't get worse I guess it's a waiting game.
I feel like by the end of all this I'll be able to write a book. "My Adventures in Urology."
Thanks for the advice along the way, Counterso.View Thread

The "bruising" on the underside hasn't gone down, and may have increased. It's red and instead of the blue spider veins they're red. It's flat, not raised and feels a little smooth to the touch. The other knot/ lump things have remained the same size. AND my testicles have become extremely red AND my penis now occasionally changes shape (A lot of flow to the upper part of the shaft seems to make it "fill up").
There ALSO seems to be a sort of thing that looks like an ingrown hair or a pimple right next to the original chord like thickening.
I've used both hydrocorizone and anti-jock itch cream on the rash like area to no avail.
The Urologist said it was Mondor's disease but he didn't look at it for very long and I felt like it wasn't quite fully thought through.
At this point I'm just terrified. It's affecting everything else I do. I can't think straight. Should I see a dermatologist about the rash? Should I rush in and demand an ultrasound or a biopsy or something?
This is just ridiculous.View Thread

I am 21 and a smoker for 2 years.
These veins are completely painless except for a dull ache after standing at work for long periods. Parts of the penis are also harder than before when flaccid.
There has also been bruising on the underside of the penis and slight irritation near the bottom of the shaft on the back side, though I think this irritation is from masturbation.
Doctors have assured me it is nothing much, and I'm seeing a urologist next week. Are there any possibilities? Varicose veins, something?
They are especially present when standing in the shower.
I'm really quite terrified this could be something serious or even some sort of insane shaft cancer.
HELP?View Thread
