| Question: | I recently cut off the blood supply to my penis while wearing tight shorts on a car journey. I have been left with a white patch on the glans of the penis which won' t go away despite treatment with hot water and massage. How can I cure the problem? |
| Answer: | Almost certainly, the white patch on your penis has nothing to do with your tight shorts. A superficial fungal infection of the skin is a far more likely diagnosis.
Hot water and massage will not help in the slightest, and may actually encourage the growth of a fungus, as they start in areas that are affected by heat, moisture and friction.
Be sensible and see your doctor so that a proper diagnosis can be made, appropriate treatment started, and your mind laid to rest.
