ABSTRACT
A 33-year-old man who self injected paraffin into his penis to facilitate an erection and increase his potency suffered from diffuse ulceration and a wide defect on the penile skin involving the proximal glans to the penopubic junction with a high fever. The compromised skin and subcutaneous tissue had to be completely removed and a sensate radial forearm free flap was performed around the penile shaft. This method gave the patient excellent satisfaction in both cosmetic and sexual function. Therefore, this method might be a good therapeutic alternative, especially for young adults indulging in active sexual activity and suffer from wide skin defects even though this operation is expensive and not easy.
