Are penile adhesions permanent?
Glandular adhesions: These adhesions occur when the skin that’s attached to the glans covers the coronal margin—the purple line that separates the glans from the shaft of the penis. Penile skin bridges: These adhesions are thicker, potentially permanent, and may need to be corrected surgically.
What steroid cream is used for penile adhesions?
Many adhesions will resolve on their own when left alone. However, the treatment of penile adhesions often involves separating the skin. One procedure includes using a short course of low-dose topical steroid cream (Betamethasone). Apply the steroid cream to the penis twice daily for four weeks.
Can you treat penile adhesion at home?
