Suggest Remedy For Growing, Reddish, Dry Patch On Foreskin

yeah i have had a redish/dry patch on my foreskin for months now it tends to dry and look flaky but lately it has gotten a bit bigger my physician said nothing on the matter and simply said i could expect it to be there forever i just never thought itd slowly get bigger. I am a 21 year old hispanic male in case that might have anything to do with anything. Oh and by the way it all started with a red pimple like bump in that exact area, actually quite sure it was a pimple. i figured it might just be a scar left behind due to irritation when in pimple form but never went back to the original skin tone. is this normal? i notice it gets dry after showers which makes sense but how can i prevent this from possibly growing more and can i regain the original skin tone in that area? thanks for everything

Urologist 's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query Based on what you have described I would say that you have what is termed as Ballnitis Xerotica Obliterans .(BXO).

However this can be confirmed only on clinical examination by a qualified Urologist .

Please consult him for clinical assessment.

It is progressive collagen disease.
