smerc;612434 said:You might give a topical vitamin c serum a try. Maybe around 10% for starters.
Are you sure you can even do laser treatments on a penis?
truant;612435 said:Idk how effective those topicals are smerc I need something stronger. They do it on people eyes why not penis?
smerc;612441 said:I understand. I just wasn't sure if it's anything like the fraxel treatments which cause bleeding of the skin due to the high heat zapping the deep layers.
The topicals might not work, but they're around $20-30. If you're going to dish out $1k + for a laser session, then I don't see the harm in trying to do a more non-invasive treatment. You also might look into DMSO.
How long have you had the discoloration?
smerc;612455 said:Well, if your benefits package covers laser treatment then I would say go for it. That's if you have faith in it working.
That's a damn good insurance if it does cover it. Usually only medically necessary treatments are covered. Now if it's a type of skin disorder, then that's different.
Be nice if the derm could just label it that way, so the benefits would take over the cost.
Sucks that you were not able to get any responses on past experiences. You may be one of the few that have tried it for this purpose.
Would it be just a normal derm that would partake in that procedure or a derm that is in the urology niche? I wonder how many have training for performing in that area.

truant;612433 said:Apple cider and vinegar really lol I have a feeling that would work for others maybe but I doubt me. They use lasers on people's eyes and face dude if this can get rid of the discoloration with only light scabbing as a side effect it seems worth it and the before and after pics on people's faces looks good. Thanks for the tip though.

I've been having problems with discoloration and hyper pigmentation do to a rash that made my skin darker when it healed. I just heard about this now and I'm going to ask my dermatologist about it. Has anyone ever tried the laser treatment? Does it help?
The infrared heat lamp from the MOS can help minimize discoloration. See it here:
