Question : I recently injured the head of my penis. I visited my urologist who examined me and told me I had an eschar type scab. The eschar is not painful nor infected but does cramp my style! Is there anything I can do to advance the healing process. Your professional thoughts would be most appreciated.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
The eschar type scab found by your Urologist, is actually part of healing process.
It's a natural process and only a divine no way to accelerate it.
There's no way to predict or give a date, when it ends.
If you're using a condom for intercourse, use one that's well lubricated.
Maintain good penile hygiene.
Wish you a speedy healing.
