how can i reduce penis swelling the doctor gave me steroids but just started them yesterday. very swollen below the head how can i reduce it? thank yi

Accepted Answer

Time: The most common trigger to swelling of a flaccid penis would be a reaction to a bug bite or similar allergic response. The swelling is due to a leak of body fluid from deep capillaries into the tissue. Once this fluid accumulates, it can take days for the fluid to be retrieved by lymph channels and the swelling to dissipate. The steroid can stop the reaction, but resolution takes time.

Accepted Answer

Pallor: Ice causes blood vessels to constrict so the skin becomes temporarily pale. Usually it is soon followed by reddening then a return to normal. If your pale mark is long standing, it is unlikely to be due to the ice unless this first caused a "burn". See your doctor for advice about the swelling and pale mark.
