>Actually, from looking at your pictures, I get the distinct impression that what you take to be your fraenulum, is in fact, one of the adhesions which extends completely across the fraenulum area.
I don't know what to say. I thought that was my frenulum. It's true that it is quite wide but the adhesions on the left have formed over the "groove" that's below the glans. On the front, where the frenulum is, there is no groove so it seems peculiar that the same situation would have developped, but I don't know for sure.
>No, as I say, I think it shares the same fate as the left, on the lower aspect. (focus is terrible!).
I'll try to take a better picture tomorrow. And I'll try to take one from the front where the frenulum can be seen.
>These are possibly due to chronic irritation over a long time, but could result from a more limited and recent infection.
I don't know, if I have had a recent infection I certainly wasn't aware of it as there was never any discomfort.

>in persisting with stretching
Like I said in another post, the stretching is continuing. I normally focus on the frenulum most of all. I pull the foreskin back over the glans and this causes no problem. Then I pull it back further and this causes the glans to bend forward and to the left. At this point I hold the glans with 3 fingers: the thumb on the back of my penis and my index and middle finger on the front with the frenulum in between the two and pull the glans back up. This causes the frenulum to stretch. This is the exercise I'm doing at the moment.
Since you say that trying to part the adhesions may require the use of another ointment, I think I'll leave that for when I'm done treating my fungal infection which, really, at the moment is what's bothering me the most. I keep applying the cream but that little white area on my glans is still there.
>I thought it was "just to make things fancier"? Care to explain quite why? Problems with crawlers?
I just wasn't very comfortable with these pics being on the internet and I've tried to make it a little more difficult for them to be saved with the standard right click operation. For this reason I will also ask that you remove them from the mirror web site later on when this discussion is finished. Thanks.
As always, thanks for your help
