Healing BXO Naturally

Recall my last post where I talked about how I thought Creme Complete was helping me. I'm now not sure whether it was, or whether it was irritating me. I've always considered peeling to be a sign of progress, and I sure was seeing a lot of it on Creme Complete. However, if I'm honest, I was seeing more of it than I was comfortable with. One big shed in the morning is one thing; two days in a row is another; but three days in a row, from the same area of skin... It just seems wrong to me. Perhaps it was all genuine, accelerated progress.. But I'm not ready to risk it. What's worse is, the parts on the glans where it was peeling were slightly red underneath from where I had helped the skin peel away, so it was making me look really unattractive. Other parts were just a little more 'pink' than usual, and felt a little more sensitive. That is fine, except again I wasn't sure if it was a sign of mild irritation. So in the end, I lost my nerve and stopped th...

Either it's the creme complete, or it's something else I've done outside my usual regime, but I seem to be doing really well on Creme Complete at the moment. I haven't been masturbating so much lately, because I've been seeing a few lady friends instead. Naturally, that's putting different kinds of friction on my penis, which is creating some slight redness that was previously unseen. That said, I always did notice a bit of that after sex. However, I haven't been doing it much. Once or twice a week at most, and masturbation about the same frequency. And yet, my weapon of choice at the moment is Creme Complete, and I'm noticing considerable white skin peeling each morning after wearing it overnight. I also FEEL like I'm noticing some previously red skin that is turning gradually brown (ie returning to normal). I've decided to lay off the exfoliation. While it works, it also tends to make the surrounding area a little red, which gives the impress...

Say you live in a house and you let the cleanliness slide. One day, you decide you need to deal with it, so you clean. At first, you start with the big items that are taking up the most space, then you get to the smaller ones, then you vacuum the floor and wipe benches, and it looks pretty nice. Only, then you look around and notice things like small patches on the carpet that you either missed when vacuuming, or have small stains on them. You notice the light switches need to be wiped, and you notice the skirting boards need a dust off. You also see some dirt marks on the side of a sofa that probably came from a dirty shoe. This is like if you got given a handout of money and told you could spend it all. First, you'd buy big things, then eventually you'd be working out how many single dollars you had left to buy something trivial with. BXO is like that. When you first realise you have it, you are at the worst stage, but you also have absolutely no idea what 'finished...

Today, for an entirely new phenomenon. Up until recently, I had been using only treatments to encourage healing or peeling of its own accord. All that changed last week when I decided I would try exfoliation on the remaining areas of BXO skin. I used a small pumice stone to gently exfoliate the white skin on the glans while it was moist (from water, not urine). I then left it for several days, before doing it again. I believe the difference is very noticeable. There have been some large areas where skin has been peeling. There are a few tricks, however. First, be gentle. The patch where it was thickest is also where I did the most work, and it became slightly painful to the touch not long after that.  Don't go nuts and make the remaining skin go red and inflamed. Only enough to gently encourage the BXO skin to start to break at the surface is what's needed. The second is to give it time after doing it. Facial exfoliation is generally recommended 2-3 times a week. Any more t...

I said I'd follow up after a week but I was a little slack. Anyway, here I am now after two weeks of using Creme Complete. Peeling is not really evident these days, but Creme Complete seems to be good at helping the skin to return to it's normal, dark/pink and elastic state. A magnifying glass is a useful tool for me now, as I can see the patterns beginning to form on the surface of the skin that once had thick white BXO skin on it. Peeling obviously still occurs, because the few areas of white skin that remain  are thinning out slowly and returning to normal tissue colour, but it's certainly nowhere near the days of old when skin would peel off in layers so thick you could actually make yourself bleed by forcibly peeling them off. I'm not certain, but I feel like I'm at the stage the medical industry refers to as 'some scarring may remain'. As I'm sure I've said before, that is complete nonsense if you use the correct treatment. I can no longe...

Comfrey seems to help accelerate the healing, but what I feel like it really needs right now is some moisturising. So, I'm going back to Creme Complete. I've been on and off with almost all my treatments lately, and I need to stop. It's Creme Complete every day now, for at least a week and we'll see how it goes. Now my itching seems to be back under control as I'm feeling a lot calmer, I feel like it's worth trying something a bit more 'restorative'. Back in a week or so with an update.

I believe I can say for almost certain that there is a direct link between extreme stress/fatigue and my BXO. I After almost nine years of being married, my marriage is ending. It has been on the cards for a while, and I've been unhappy for the last few years (at some level, I actually wonder whether it may have been responsible for my BXO) but I've seen a few things lately that forced me to face the facts that my wife will never change, and I need to leave. As they say about separation, it's one of the most stressful experiences we can go through. Within about 12 hours of the conversation with my wife about us separating, my BXO began to itch. I tried numerous treatments, all of which seemed to make things worse - this is just like the end of last year when I got run down and stressed due to work. I've since had a very relaxing, clear-my-head couple of days, and things are much much better again. So to me, this shows with almost certainty that my BXO is related to ...
