I am 25 years old.
-The symptoms of the disease because of which I addressed the doctors: Occasional itching on the lower side of the penis - on the foreskin and glans.

Therapy: Below are the medication which were used by a doctors' recommendation, in order in which they were used, and without recommending a swab:

1)Sinoderm (fluocinolone acetonide neomycinum). Produced by: ICN Galenika, Belgrade, Serbia. The medication was used for 5 (five) days on the foreskin and glans in a thin layer, in the morning and evening, after bathing - 3 (three) years ago, which produced something that looks like dilated blood vessels (venules?) on the glans of my penis (they look dilated like blisters) - which is a side effect present on any internet page but not in this medicine's instruction sheet. This medicine only worsened my condition and didn't helped at all.

2)Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in the quantity of 20 (twenty) grams was mixed with 1 (one) liter of water and this mixture was used once daily, for 30 days on the genitals - 3 (three) years ago. It's application produced redness on my scrotum, and asides from being totaly itchy, when the redness reached the legs, it caused the overwork of some glands there, which are not palpatory enlarged, and which, from that point on, secrete some stinky and sticky yellow liquid, that also makes me sweat allot because it raises the temperature of the body in that area. The redness stoped spreading there (on the skin of scrotum) and it hasn't spread on the other parts of skin (legs, penis). Also, from that point on, I have experienced occasional appearances of redness on the foreskin wich itches sometimes. This redness usually subsides on its own in a day or two after bathing.

3)Triderm (Betamethasone Dipropionate Clotrimazolum Gentamycin). Produced by: Schering - Plough Labo N.V.,2220 Heist-op-den-berg, Belgium. The medication was used for 4 (four) days on the foreskin on those occasional appearances of redness, in a thin layer, in the morning and evening, after bathing - one and a half (1.5) years ago. This produced a visible edema on the upper (dorsal) side of the penis, on the foreskin (confirmed by ultrasonography) which is present even now. Only then when this side effect appeared was it recomended that i should do a swab of those occasional appearances of redness on the foreskin. Also a swab of the canal was made and both proved negative to bacteria. This medicine only worsened my condition an didn't helped at all.

-After all I still have that itching. The solution for the swelling, as the doctor says, is circumcision, which isn't just a standard, easy removal of the foreskin, because I have lots of blood vessels there on the foreskin (so this means more swelling caused by cutting out these vessels, and besides this way i would be exchanging one edema for another), or a puncture which, again, as the doctor says, can leave me with a fibrosis and a permanent hematoma, and the puncture doesn't guarantee that the edema will subside because it isn't certain if there is liquid or not in that edema. Please answer me, if you have any knowledge whatsoever about corticosteroids, or if you know how these side effects develop or how they are cured or if you know someone that does. Any information you can give me is valuable to me. If you have any doubts that these are side effects of corticosteroids - let me tell you that they are, because there are such side effects mentioned and they appeared exactly on the spot where I applied the medicine. If there is any method to see the dilated blood vessels close up and to find out something about them, like for instance with a doppler or similar device please send me some info. Also, please let me know if there is some method to see, why the glands are overworking and/or what "liquid" are they producing. Thanks again and God bless you all.
