Brief Answer:
Possible caused by cyproterone and depo provera usage.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms and shiny skin of penis may be related to depo provera and cyproterone acetate usage.
They can make skin dry and thin which can make it look shinny and more fragile.

Hope I have answered the question.

Thanks. Please advise of any other strong and powerful medications I can take to further stop testosterone production and any arousal whatsoever quickly. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Use LHRH antagonist or agonists because they lower it quickly.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I think you can talk to your doctor about using luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists (also called LHRH analogs or GnRH agonists) are drugs that lower the amount of testosterone made by the testicles. You can choose one in this group either Lupton, Zoladex or Vantas. Another drug used to lower testosterone levels very ligand quickly may be Degarelix a LHRH antagonist.
