Brief Answer:
It is reversible

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up with clarifying details.

I am sorry to know that you are victim of adulteration with steroids (most likely you are right as they are indicative of excessive steroid) but at the same time I am glad to know that you got alerted before too much damage.

Since there is complete erection I feel you will be able to get back to normal level within few months. In my experience most individuals with side effects of steroid get back to normal level in 3-6 months and same can be expected for you.

I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
