About a year ago, I noticed some skin discoloration on the top and bottom sides of my penis, towards the base of the shaft. I didnt think too much of it, seeing as it didnt hurt, look too bad, or bother me in any way.
However, I just went to my dermatologist (not my regular one) and during my exam, he diagnosed me with genital eczema. He prescribed me with Protopic ointment saying that using it would help bring the color back. I quickly agreed to the prescription. however, when i got home, i read the side effects and the actual definition of eczema which is characterized more by red bumps and sores. All i have is slight skin discoloration.
So my question is: is this in fact genital eczema or could it be something else? i want to make sure before i put this cream (which has some unpleasant side effects) on such a sensitive area.
Thanks Everyone!

Slight variations in the color of the penis skin are normal – if you don’t have any other symptoms, like itching, peeling skin, or a rash, it might not be eczema at all. I would suggest getting a 2nd opinion on this, especially before using a steroid cream that can weaken your skin. In the meantime, you might try a penis vitamin cream (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil), which can be applied after a daily shower to moisturize and nourish the skin to keep it in good condition.
