Superficial thrombophlebitis on a vein on the penis left side. i'll completely abstain from masturbation but the vein still stretches due to morning erection. how much time can it take to heal? it's been a month already. i've started topical heparin?

Probably you mean sclerosing lymphangitis. It's harmless, but can take several weeks to clear up. Topical heparin is not likely to help. The Wikipedia article is pretty good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sclerosing_lymphangitis
