Keratinization of glans penis

hi! I have the same problem... I am 24 years old I was circumcised at 3, and the glans of my penis became kerantinized and full of scar please help :'(

looks like an old post but if anyone else reads this heres what i know: easiest thing is to go out and get something like shea butter - though regular lotion might help also - and regularly lotion up / keep your glans moised especially before going to bed. in a few weeks you should notice an improvement in sensitivity. also there are special protective underwear you can buy to help keep your glans from rubbing against the inside of your pants. or you can try foreskin restoration as well. also if you masturbate a certain way in which there is a lot of direct friction on your glans, either use more lubrication to avoid damage or try masturbating a different way. if you masturbate / have sex a lot you can stop for a week or two and then go back and things will feel a ton better than they were before. and just take care of yourself, i noticed a huge increase in sensitivity/pleasure just by being careful about my penis not rubbing against the inside of my pants and keeping it moised. hope that helps

I have similar experience.
There might be things that would help but I don't think any measures that you can find will help much.

As the glans (if you are circumcised) changes it can become very uncomfortably sensitive too. I find withdrawal after orgasm causes weird unwanted sensation; just sliding my penis out of her vagina even though it is overflowing with cum is almost unbearable feeling.

Circumcision is meant to make you less able to enjoy sex and help you to be more religious. I find I have to use lube to masturbate and of course that is why Kellogg popularized circumcision in USA. It works too, when I was a teen I used to often be rubbing my penis and coming and it got really sore. Circumcision doesn't stop you doing it but it does mean that you won't have much of an orgasm.

As someone who has experienced being intact and is now circumcised, I'm in the ideal position to comment.

Depsite urban myth, the glans penis is virtually sexually insensitive. It's primarily protopathic. What this means is it mostly senses pain, pressure and temperature due to its crude free nerve endings. The specialised sexual tissue is in the foreskin. The foreskin contains most of the light-touch and all the stretch reception necessary for optimum sexual sensation.  

The truth is, circumcision destroys sexual pleasure. This was its original intention, and despite it being more sexually damaging than type 2 FGM, it's stilll not illegal.  The American medical community (all profit-making) refuses to accept that it's damaging, even though it's been proven via a neurological analysis and a touch test published in the British Journal of Urology.  

The problem is that most circumcised men were cut at birth and so have no point of comparison.  This is why most victims of FGM don't complain either--because they were cut before experiencing sex/masturbation as nature intended it.

Thank-you for your excellent outline of the truth about male 'circumcision'.
Despite the information you give being supported by medical research there are still a lot of people in denial of the simple facts about cutting sensitive tissue off the penis (as we all know).
The responses of those who don't want to believe the evidence are an interesting illustration of the depth of the psychological, cultural and religious aspects of our sexuality. In other words, most of us are ignorant and self-deluded.
Which is also why it took me so long to understand that what you wrote is the truth of the matter.

It's so frustrating to be in my position. To know what was done to me and not be able to sue the UK's National Health Service for blatant medical negligence and a human rights abuse, is a source of constant distress. On top of this, I have to suffer people parrot fraudulent propaganda, e.g. circumcision lowers HIV and UTI risk and soforth. I've lost faith in the scientific community because I realised that peer-review is, in many cases, simply pal review, i.e. get a bunch of friends who agree with your stance on something and get them to tick off your paper to go in a journal, even though it's bunkum. Makes you wonder just what other parts of the scientific community are hijacked by religious/cultural bias and profit making motives.

I can empathize with your situation and agree that the medical community take a pathetically weak and gutless position on circumcision. It illustrates that science is never completely objective.
All of us, including scientists, are fallible and look for evidence that supports what they want to believe. And because most people do not seriously question their cultural or religious beliefs even facts that seem irrefutable are ignored.
I was cut (badly) as an infant and I can't ignore the damage but many men do not know that they are not normal and they wouldn't be able to face the truth about how much difference it has made to their lives even if medical science was honest about it.
The people who condone cutting boys are actually pedophiles whose activities are sanctioned by a criminally negligent government.
However, I suspect that there is nothing I can say that you do not already know, and haven't thought of, about the whole unbelievably sad situation.

Well... If you have varicocele, I wouldn't recommend tugging around your penis and testicles like recommended in those foreskin restoration exercises. You need to be gentle with your testicles, the veins are sensitive and prone to varicosity.
