Hydrocortisone still used for chronic foreskin inflammation but seldom a cure
Saturday, March 26th, 2011March 25, 2011
Dear Dr. Reed,
After suffering from chronic inflammation kept sort of in check with regular application of Hydrocortisone for some six years now, I think it is some sort of allergy, I decided to consider circumcision surgery option. I am 49 year old male, born in eastern Europe. Just wonder how much it would cost the whole procedure without health insurance? Thank you very much for your time, sincerely, Zafir
Good afternoon Zafir,
Thank you for your interest in what we do. If you come to circumcision with us, please do not apply any hydrocortisone ointment for a good two or three weeks as it may interfere with wound healing.
We have performed over 6000 cosmetic circumcisions in the past 35 years and usually do several cases every week. Our fees are posted on our web-site.
We have done sons of physicians, brothers, religious circumcisions, men who have not seen the heads of their penis for 20 years! This is your circumcision and we do it the way you want with respect to 4 parameters.
Please don’t be like the patient done elsewhere who writes: “Dr. Reed I just got circumcised two days ago and my result was not what i expected. I was wondering when i recover can i get a consultation with you.” Photos sent and received (unspoken comment “disaster zone”)
Be assured we will show you every courtesy,
All the best,
Harold M. Reed, M.D.
