They never do, do they? (;-)

I mean that - dermatologists are (well, in my country at least) not the point of first contact, and generally don't see the early signs of most conditions.

> He said it looked like an allergic reaction (soaps, perfume, etc.)

This fellow does sound particularly astute. I's sure many would have jumped to the other conclusion.

> As for the stretching I never thought of using a "device". Hindsight is 20/20

Indeed. Nor was foreskin restoration a common concept that many years ago - I think we are (or perhaps, I hope we are) seeing a "boom" period in awareness of all these matters and educating people how to deal with them so that it becomes common knowledge, and problems are dealt with as a matter of course, with far less recourse to doctors.

Not that of course, I'd like to see everything dealt with without recourse to doctors by any means! (;-))
