Not exactly.

I first went to the doctors with it some years back, thinking that was what it was (hadn't had anything like it before, so nothing to compare it to, and that seemed the only obvious explanation). Turns out it's a condition that's like a form of eczema that only attacks very thin skin layering and things that get stretched and such like (ie/ your ring). So I've been having to apply a steroid cream (not anabolic steriods, I'm not trying to bulk up my arsehole), which cured it for quite a while, but no it's back with a vengeance, and the cream doesn't do a hell of a lot any more, so time for an intricate operation to look forward to...
