Title: Topical Use....
Post by: dplookin on December 13, 2013, 12:44:36 PM
Like everyone else, I have, and still am, doing a lot of research on a solution for Peyronies mainly, like you, I am Tired of it.  I did run across something that may help which I am going to try sometime this coming week.  "Home Remedies" suggests using Castor Oil.

Castor Oil is suppose to help soften the hard tissues in the penis and give some relief.

Just FYI for those of you who want to try it.  Why not, it's cheap and almost anything is worth a try.

I think the primary issue with topical medications—all of them, not just home remedies—is that poor absorption is the problem. Keep in mind that the scar tissue associated with Peyronie's is deep under the skin and located on/within the tunica albuginea; medications, no matter how finely milled, just can't be absorbed that deeply.

Nonetheless, I don't imagine this would be harmful. Massaging and gentle stretching can be a good thing.

Hi James - Just to let you know: the links on your Dec 15 post don't seem to be working.
Brilliant forum though - many thanks to you all for your help! I really wish I didn't have to read it but it's a wonderful resource for everyone affected by this unpleasant condition.

Yes, the second link doesn't work, I delete it.
It may be because of merging of topics on later date.

From what I understand the chief critcism of topical verapamil is that is doesn't penetrate deep enough. Has anyone tried mixing the topical verapamil with DSMO to achieve deeper penetration?
