Healing BXO Naturally

I'm up to over 8000 pageviews. That's a really good thing, as it shows I'm having the impact I wanted to - reaching out to people suffering from BXO, and perhaps helping them along the way. I've had a couple of requests for offline contact recently. I'm definitely keen on that, provided, of course, it doesn't become obsessive. At the end of the day, I'm just a guy. I blog about BXO all the time, but my life doesn't revolve around it. In my last post, I said I was going to try a further month on Creme Complete, then perhaps switch to Perrin's Blend, if the CC didn't speed things up. Over that time, I seem to have developed a bit of eczema around my groin in a few patches, and itching is not uncommon with that. There were a few spots around my BXO that were getting equally inflamed, so I decided to lay off the Creme Complete. I also decided it was probably not smart to try the Perrin's Blend under those circumstances, but no big deal; I'm...

It's been a month since I started using Creme Complete regularly. All I can say is, I am impressed. The first week saw the biggest peel I've seen in a long time, and on the glans at that. I've always said the inner skin peels slower than the shaft skin, and the glans peels slower than the foreskin. So to see peeling on the glans was very refreshing. I haven't been able to reproduce the rate of peeling I got that first time since then, so in reality it was probably the Creme Complete encouraging a large amount of dead skin to peel. But I have been seeing slow but steady amounts of peeling from it over the past month. To observe it properly, you really do have to clean it thoroughly then let it dry out completely, but when you do that you can indeed see peeling. I haven't been too over the top with my applications this time around. Just twice a day, once in the morning after my shower, once at night before going to bed. I think that's why I've...

Earlier this week, I decided to look back through the historic photos of my BXO recovery. While several variables (how wet the skin was, the light at the time, and the degree of inflammation of non-BXO skin) all affected the consistency of photographs alone as a measure of progress, it can be seen over a period of several months. Nonetheless, what I did notice is that the difference between the first and second periods of 6 months versus the last 6 months were considerably different. In the beginning, progress was considerably faster than it is for me now. And, given progress in the beginning was painfully slow, it just means now it's going even slower. I decided I'd try some treatments again to see what I could do to help things along. Recall from my experiences last year that Creme Complete, which started as a wonderful treatment, eventually turned what I felt was a little harsh. It caused itching, inflammation, and a daily round of peeling. I was excited for a little while...

Yes, I am still alive. I haven't been posting here as much lately, obviously, and I thought it was about time I did. Progress seems to have slowed a bit. I'm not taking that as a sign of anything other than I am obviously getting closer and closer to a final state for what I can expect my penis to look like. Recall from my earlier post 'Healing BXO is like cleaning a house' how you notice large progress early, then when you think you're healed, you look closer and realise how far you've got to go. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat. I don't think it's quite fair to say progress is logarithmic, but it definitely slows down, the further you get through this thing. I decided a little while back that I would deliberately keep my posting schedule back to at most once a month, perhaps even less. It's now just too hard to see any real change over any shorter timeframe. Don't get me wrong, things are still only heading in the right direction, but ther...

It was exactly one year ago that I first identified my condition as LS/BXO. It's been a trying year, but one that has ended up quite rewarding. As I began predicting recently, I'm not yet rid of all my symptoms. I still have some patches of white skin, and quite a few patches of red, but the amount of brown skin (healed) increases very slowly, each month. As you can tell, I don't post here as much now, as it seems progress, although it used to be slow, is now even slower. What I've learned over the past year is almost too much to summarise. Interested readers should read through my post history to get a better idea of what works for me and what doesn't. I am going to keep this post relatively short. A few months ago, I was anticipating a long ceremonious "that's all from me" post on June 15th, as I was hoping I'd be totally rid of BXO. But I'm not there yet. I am back to using Comfrey every day. I make a concentrated tea from the leaves, th...

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...
