Pictures at last


A picture paints a thousand words, and today I decided I'd share with you the progress I have made on my BXO. First, here's a picture I took back at the beginning of the year. I didn't actually realise what the problem was, so it took me a good six months after taking this photo before I started treating it.

A few things to note. Obviously, the BXO skin is very thick and white. That part is a no-brainer. But perhaps more alarming is how tight it is. Look at the width of my thumb and look at how the distance from the edge of the BXO skin to the base of my glans is roughly the same. Also, note the obvious indentation from the phimotic ring at the right. 

Here's the identical shot after three months of nothing but natural treatments. Look at how the BXO skin has thinned down a lot, and has some more normal-looking dark patches of healthier skin. Most of those started out as small injuries, and as they healed, the normal skin gradually spread out as the BXO skin peeled off. Look at the width of my thumb, and look at how wide it now is from the edge of the BXO skin to the base of the glans. It's nearly twice as far as it was in the first pic.

Here's a shot showing the ring after about a month of treatment. Note how depressed it is. While I'd gotten rid of some of the thick layers of skin in that first month, the extent of the depression is still very evident.

Here's the ring a month later. The indentation is far less evident, the skin is a much healthier pink, and you can see the peeling is keenly in progress even in this photo. Again, this was after nothing but natural treatments.

Here is my penis after 4 months of treatment. This shot is a little bit of 'cheat mode' as it's after a month of treatment with Clobetasol.. Look now at how bunched up the BXO affected skin is, as the white layers have thinned off. Also, imagine how wide the area would look now if it were stretched out. That shows just how much the BXO forces skin to tighten, and how much it relaxes and regains its elasticity as it heals.

As good as it gets (with pics)

I thought it was time I did an update with pictures. This is more or less what I have been looking like now for some time now. I think it's safe to say that what I have now is as good as it's going to get. Considering what I looked like when I started, I don't think it's bad going. Here's a list of all the issues I no longer have: Fully normal sexual function, without risk of injury Skin feels normal and supple to the touch, and has regained sensitivity Skin looks normal by and large, particularly on top No partner has ever commented that anything looks abnormal I feel 'normal' again But of course, it's not perfect. I've had to accept a few slight issues: A very small amount of itching sometimes occurs after sexual activity There are still some small areas of white skin I have to maintain dryness. I don't know this for a fact, but due to the slow progression of this disease, it's not something that is conducive to experimentat

Update on final cleanup

I've not been particularly diligent at using treatments these past few months. Apart from the occasional use of Tea Tree Oil, I haven't really been using anything. That being said, I am still noticing extremely but steady improvement on my glans. the place where I still have the worst covering of white BXO skin is on the base of the glans, where urine naturally gravitates toward after dribbling. This was probably the thickest covering all along. Measuring the progress of this late recovery is challenging. To measure how much white skin I have requires a reasonable amount of blood flow to my glans. Without that, there's little contrast between the different areas. But Tea Tree Oil tends to promote blood flow anyway, so it gives the impression that progress is happening faster than it perhaps is. I am trying to not to fixate over progress too much, and just focus on the basics - after urination, dry, dry, then dry some more. Even then, I will occasionally check to make su

BXO Healing Guide

After considerable time contemplating how I could best serve the world of BXO sufferers, I am pleased to finally bring you the BXO Recovery Plan . The plan is a step-by-step process detailing each of the stages in the healing process and what you should do along the way. Initially I contemplated making an eBook, but in the end I decided against this for several reasons. First, I'm not qualified in functional or natural medicine, and I didn't feel write publishing a book giving advice about this. Second, I don't want to reveal my identity. I don't know how feasible this is when publishing a resource and collecting income from it. But what finally helped me make my decision was this: You have all suffered and paid enough already. I know what it's like when you have BXO and you want it gone. You'd do almost anything to get rid of it. This often means spending money on yet another miracle cure. I didn't want to be 'yet another miracle cure'. The gu
