Thanks for all the kind words. This is a very curious group. Do you really want nasty pictures of open wounds on the penis (very nasty and graphic and might disgust people)?
I am not sure if the cysts are due to PMMA in the skin (which according to a research paper on the web is one of the identified complications), or how much genetics played a role. I suspect I had the cysts much longer than I realized, until they became obvious (large bulges of fluid undert the skin. If you read some of my old posts I referred to fluid build up during masturbation, and in my ignorance I may have conflated this and the cysts. Here\'s the link to the NIH article:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4709437/
Obviously Dr. C. declined to inject more PMMA inside me very long ago (even touch ups) and my growth from about 8.5 inch girth to 11.6 inch girth has been from PGE-1 injections, which also help with severe ED (read my previous posts).
I\'ve had multiple cysts on my body from a large one on my back that required surgical intervention to multiple pilonidal cysts on my buttocks requiring multiple surgeries. One thing in common with all cysts was that after surgery or rupture they were/are all open (dirty) wounds susceptible to infection.
I know from that experience that you needed to pack those large and deep cysts with gauze to get them to heal from the inside out, and not have the top skin close too soon. Later in the the healing I had to switch to non-stick pads to cover the wound (to protect my clothes) and to not tear the skin which is trying to close together.
With my penis, I have observed white colored tissue marbled in with veins and capillaries growing back inside my penis cysts (evidence of healing). As the bottom of the cysts filled in with tissue I was looking forward to the skin growing back. I\'ve been using non-stick pads cut to size with OTC triple antibiotic ointment. However, the edges of the pads (since they were cut) are compromised and as my penis shifts around and changes size during the day, they have stuck to the tissue, tearing it, and causing some pain. I suspect a proper antibiotic prescription might help with healing too (if it\'s not too late for the skin).
Another factor are secondary skin wounds in surrounding areas that have possibly become infected. They started as peeling dry patches and psychologically I couldn\'t resist peeling them. Eventually these become pitted scab covered wounds, another weak (compromised) portion of the skin. So the skin between the cysts and these wounds is fighting a losing battle for survival and is slowly eroding away. I\'ve extended the pads (wound dressings) to cover these areas too since they are leaking and to prevent me from being tempted to pick scabs and make things worse. Though as recently as last night my lizard brain had me pull off a dry scab that was partially sticking up like a hang nail just waiting to be peeled off, at one of the wounds in orbit around an open cyst. To mitigate against this behavior I will endeavor to keep all the affected areas covered with the non-stick pads.
Another thing I know about cysts and healing is that even in the best case scenario, where they close up without needing skin grafts, like all my other healed cysts, they leave a hell of a scar on the skin in the aftermath. I\'m going to ask the urologist if erections are having a negative impact on healing. To enjoy life (as best as possible) i have continued to use PGE1 and masturbate (stress relief), but I have noticed pain in the skin at the wounds, suggesting tearing might be occurring during erections.
