Cracked skin and redness on penis head.

I have the same problem i think its washing powder or coditioner that causes the reaction try changing it

I want to share my case by coincidence with the issue you have exposed. After losing erection normally the glans becomes wrinkled everytime the semen or pre-ejaculatory fluid gets dry on it. Similarly, the symptoms here is a glans that permanently looks like that! It seems there is something stuck on it, and I am sure there is. On my case, it began after I had oral sex with my mate. As a first symptom, I noticed my glans was peeling. Thus, I started using antimycotic cream steadily after shower. It worked good. Then I incurred in the same "oral practice" and the peeling started over. But then I mixed a dandruff shampoo shower and the antimycotic cream. The result was a difficult permanent condition of a wrinkled dryness and prepuce was hardened (like burnt) :( ... I corrected the treatment with the antimycotic cream plus a reconstitutive skin ointment called "Recoveron NC" (consists of Acexamic Acid (Acexamate Sodium), Neomycin Sulfate), which is used for healing infected wounds, episiotomies, surgical complications, sore nipples. I LEARNED the glans skin is so fragile, we should not expose it to doubtful unclean conditions or the use of any irritating substances.

No one mentioned olive oil. Two drops on my thingy, once a day, and about ten drops on her innie for sex. Make sure it is EXTRA VIRGIN, LOL! Also no soap directly on my thingy. Cracked, painful thingy is ALL GOOD!

I have had this problem as well and it got so bad that even my gf noticed it. I had been to our health clinic and I turned up negative on any STI test. So I thought little of it and got on with my life. I got fed up with the cracks though so I tried a shelf cream for common skin irritations called pematen. After about 2 weeks most of the major cracks were gone and the redness was slowly going away but I don't recommend using this cream without talking to your dr first. Hope this helped. Also it looks like a rare form of Demintitis( I think that how it's spelt)

i'm 18 yrs old boy. and i have same problem.

it's about a year when i first noticed these cracks and wrinkles on my penis head. it also got little bumps which are mostly visible only when penis is erect.

i did a course of antibiotics(tablets,cream) thinking of may be it's because of any microbe. but of no help

6 months ago condition was worse i got all red dots upto shaft. i was really worried so decided to go to a doctor. he told me it is normal.

And the cause is harsh cleansing(harsh chemicals of soap). so he told me not to use soap. he gave me an other cream for mild cleansing to wash away the dead cells. first it seemed to work but then it recurred.

and now i'm having it ....

it comes and goes. and there is little darkening at the tip...

so guys.. try not to use soap for quite a time. 

hope this will help some of you guys...

MY SUGGESTION... I HAD REDNESS ON THE SHAFT OF THE PENIS, AND DURING INTERCOURSE IT USED TO BURN ALL THE TIME, UNTIL, I FOUND OUT THIS CURE WHICH WORKS WONDERS..

1. HYDROGEN PEROXIDE , RINSE YOUR WHOLE PENIS WITH THIS

2. VIRGIN COCONUT OIL, PUT SOME OF THIS OIL ON YOUR SHAFT

AFTER  YOU SHOWER WELL,  BEFORE GOING TO BED,, RINSE YOUR YOUR PENIS WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE THEN, RUB SOME COCONUT OIL ON YOUR WHOLE SHAFT  AND WITHING 2 DAYS ,YOU WILL BE CURED, AND IT WONT HURT SO MUCH

VIRGIN COCONUT OIL CAN BE FOUND AT YOUR LOCAL VITAMINE SHOPPE

i have the exact same symptoms as u do and ive tried to reaserch every where i posibly could and still couldent find nothing have u found out what exactly its medically called ?

Apply Cutivate Ointment on it every day for 10 days. Then one day on one day off for 20 days. Been there, and cleared.

Im also like you friend, i have candida infection. now it was heal. but my penis cracked, red and it was chily

Hi I00t:

The antibiotics killed the good bacteria. This allowed candida albicans (yeast) to take hold. You have a yeast infection.



Candidiasis or thrush is the name for a yeast infection.

You may try to treat it at home by:

1. Washing the area.
2. Drying the area thoroughly.
3. Applying Monistat or athlete's foot cream containing clotrimazole.

Hey, thanks for the info. I have the same problem due to the pain meds. I am on. Due to these meds it is very difficult to reach a climax, which leads to some real marathon sexsessions with my girl. As a result things tend to get dry and the end result was a very panful crack in my phrenulum. I have abstained (mostly) for three days now. Any ideas how long this will take to heal properly?

Did your penis head hurt when it rubbed on your under pants when walking or what not

Could just be an allergy, or dry skin from your soap, laundry detergent, etc. Try using a moisturizing penis health creme to restore moisture and prevent dehydration.

For anyone suffering: red foreskin, swollen end, tiny painful cracks on the foreskin, bleeding from those cracks if stretched, redness on the helmet of the penis either partial or complete, tightness, some itching etc...well, it came out of nowhere for me and I had all those symptoms. I suffered and worried for two weeks and looking at pictures on the internet, I realized in my case it was Balanitis.  You know what? You can beat this thing without creams (though they do help the symptoms) and without a doctor's prescription. Just be aware you are fighting yeast (candida). And what you do is, you take the advice of websites that talk about the candida diet. TWhat you do is you starve and kill the yeast. It is amazing how eating certain foodstuffs can do this. You need a mixture of foods that are described as probiotics and anti-fungals. In my case, this is what killed it.

-I cut out sugar immediately - it is feeling the yeast (my flare up seemed to coincide with eating a lot of chocolate)

-also cut out fruit and bread

-start eating copious amounts of yoghurt - see the website I referred to for details, but you want the natural plain ones without sugar. Plain is best with the bacteria described on the website it them

-this one is massive: kill the yeast by eating garlic. I ate it straight (up to 3 cloves a day - be careful not to overdo it or you will get "Die-off"). I ate it mixed in with yoghurt. I ate it on crackers. Sometimes I just chewed it. It is strong, strong stuff. I cannot rave about this stuff enough. It can cause a little bit of a side effect. Twice I woke with a headache and took paracetamol. It also causes a bit of a runny tummy and some bubbling stomach noises. Who cares? The garic with all its properties is beating up the candia, so let it do its job.

-also go for Chia seeds. I sprinkled it on yoghurt

-bath your penis in salted water. Put sea salt in a large empty yoghurt pot and fill with warm water. When the foreskin is feeling supple, try to ease the foreskin back and clean gently. You only need do this once a day. Dry first with tissue paper and then with a hairdryer on a low setting. Apply modest amount of antifungal cream (hydrocortisone 1%) and creams like it if you wish. I suspect it isn't necessary to beat this yeast infection but in the first coupleof days of the candida diet I did use cream.

-Do not use soap in the shower to wash your penis

-When it comes to wanting or needing to masterbate, in these early days don't pull the foreskin back like you usually do. Just enjoy it by stroking the base, use the cream on the foreskin, but don't pull it back. With sexual intercourse, I think it better not to do this until it has cleared up sufficiently

There are other foodstuffs that you can go for on the candida diet so consult the websites.

Listen, at first I thought this thing was bad, and might not go away. But realize that by altering your daiy diet you can beat it. All the horrible symptoms have been swept away like magic after about 4 /5 days of doing the above, and you know what? I will continue eating garlic and yoghurt etc...and leaving out a lot of sugar because I never want this thing back again.

Creams at first relieve some of the symptoms in the first place, but you want to make it go away completely and stay away.

Definitely consider this is De
