When I read your statement last night, I guess I just assumed the doctor had been professional enough to test for BXO. So he just made an arm-chair quack diagnosis and prescribed emergency surgery? Sounds like a great specialist, doesn't he?

Paul's careful analysis of your situation strongly suggests that your problem is really trush. The abundance of sugar is what is adding fuel to the fire.

Diabetes is dead serious, so get that under control right away. That's your primary concern of the moment. Once you've done that, you'll probable also see better control over the penile problem.

There are some very good preparations that your dermatologist can prescribe which will control the thrush, but if you wish to get a head start, go to the grocer and pick up some plain yogurt with live culture. Use the cotton swab to apply it to the affected area. Do this regulary several times a day for several days. What the yogurt will do is provide friendly bacteria that will fight off the yeast. These organisms normally live in harmony on the skin and under the foreskin, but with a regular diet of sugar from your urine, the yeast have flourished and taken over.
