Revisiting an(other) old friend

This disease is awful. But there's one thing that, for me at least, is the worst part of all. Yes, it sucks that it attacks the genitals. It sucks that it causes the impact that it does. It sucks that it takes perhaps the most ridiculously long amount of time to heal out of any disease known to man. And it sucks that affects yours self-esteem and sense of attractiveness and sexiness the way it does. But most importantly, I think, it sucks that nobody seems to actually understand it. Western medicine certainly doesn't, or at least, that knowledge is not common if they do. Natural remedies have some effect, for sure, but they work incredibly slowly. This is not uncommon for natural remedies, but because there's little to no understanding of it in western medicine, there's not really an 'industrial strength' healer. I came to the conclusion that clobetasol was only sightly more effective than the natural treatments I had been using, so have stopped using it. Bu

Sleep is good for BXO healing

This is very odd indeed. I'm sick at the moment with what appears to be a regulation case of the common cold. I started getting a sore throat around about midday on thursday (it's saturday night here now). In the few days before, I'd noticed my skin itchier than normal. Nothing alarming. Just noticeable. Then in the afternoon on Thursday I noticed some tiny, almost 'blistery' marks near fingernail on the side of one of my fingers, accompanied by a slight itching. I never made an association, instead figuring I must have touched some substance my skin disagreed with. Thursday night, for some reason, I decided to use a little Tea Tree Oil on my BXO skin, and when I woke up on friday morning, my cold had gotten worse and my BXO skin was feeling quite itchy. I look at it, and it's looking almost a little 'puffy'. Some areas are redder than usual. I assume maybe it was due to some sexual fluids left on it from the previous evening. Wash it thoroughly, then

The origins of my BXO

I've talked about many different treatments on here. I've also speculated about how each treatment might work (attacking vs healing) a lot. But the one thing I haven't really considered is that BXO is thought to be a condition symptomatic of some deeper issue. What's the relationship? Well, if you identify what that deeper issue is and address it, it's quite possible that your body will heal by itself. You might try a range of treatments, and they will work. You'll attribute that progress to the treatments. But in actual fact, had you not used anything at all, you would still have made progress. Some days, I consider the possibility that this could well describe my situation. I'm absolutely convinced that my problem was caused by urine getting trapped underneath the foreskin. Why do I say this? Because I recall some time around January 2011 noticing dampness at the front of my underwear. It was a new phenomenon, and I realised it was coming from small drop
