i can identify with you! it is NOT injurious nor harmful, but you are right - it does affect one's psychological well being. One thing of recent years is the public information and awareness about this skin issue. For that I am grateful and see how it can be a tremendous encouragement for younger folks. I am NOT younger - so maybe like you I had to endure the challenges alone.

yeah me too. i noticed it when i was about early teens - i am now over 70!!! i hate it, it is embarrassing - a white spot on the front side of the penis - but the docs all tell me there is nothing causing any challenges other than the psychological. still bothers me even today! how about you - what is your situation?
