skin on penis peeling

balanitis - a type of yeast infection

Same problem with the dry peeling skin on penis. At first I thought it was a STD, however; the last time I had unprotected sex (stupid me) was like 4 months b4. Genital warts and herpes usually show up within 1-2 weeks after intercourse. About 2 months ago I started taking s-roid so I had low sex drive and it made my nuts look like sunflower seeds. However when I got off it and started my PCT, all I thought about was sex. My girlfriend said I was too rough so we only did it maybe once every 9 days but it wasn't workin for me so I hit the left hand shame (ALOT, like 3 frikkin times a day). Recently i found that the skin on my shaft was dry an I could even peel parts of it off ( DONT DO IT. I did and it's like a scab, if you peel it off too soon before the skin properly heels, it will bleed) I told my younger brother, my ex, and a friend. I asked my ex what she thought it could be and she said " herpes, nice goin" frikkin hoe. Then I told my lil brother, he laughed and now he calls my shrek penis lol. Then I told my friend and he said to see a doctor. However, if you choke your chicken more than 6 times a week with no lube alot of the time, it will damage and irritate the skin. All I can tell you is take a break from jackin off, I guess you really can get a STD from masterbating. O_O SHREK penis

Choke the chicken ^_^ lmao. Anyway on a more serious note. When I pull
My foreskin back the tip, or bell, of my penis has got about a 1cm square patch of skin Missing and that particular bit is very red, yet when first noticed it last night, it stung like a mother F****R but not it doesn't sting yet I'm really worried as I slept with a girl unprotected at xmas2009 & was wondering if this could be the start of aids, yet the symptoms don't seem to match. Ive had a clamydia/gonhorrea test about 7month back and I came back clean as a whistle. But I am contemplating telling my girlfriend yet I've been with her for 2months and we haunt actually slept together yet :S all I want is a professional opinion yet I'm too scared to go to my GP Incase of bad news.

I'm having the same problem.. I stoped having sex with my girlfriend and I don't use the latex condoms because I am alergic but still after a week it's still here,not much itching but sore and I talked to The doc and he told me to lay off for a month or 2. Is their any way to make the healing go faster? Also he didn't tell me I couldn't masturbate, but I'm not sure what to use :/

i have the same problem i masterbated about 9 days ago and i pulled my foreskin back and i relised these red patches on my bellend i didnt take no notice at them first but then i relised after i had a worm bath i dryed my self off and noticed they were going. but i masterbater 2 nights ago and they came back but i recamend you not to masterbate / have sex while you have them cuz they can get wores........... dose that soleve ant ones problems xx %-)

how do you get rid of  dry skin on the foreskin of the penis?

here my issue. About three years ago I noticed blotchs on my shaft and head one day. dry, flaky blotchs. I am the picky type, so i picked all the skin off and washed, and treated with A & D. It came back but just not as bad. Now i started to think it was an STD so i went to the doctors. I showed Doc the package and he simply said it was a rash. He prescribed icth creme. I wasnt to sure about his diagnosis so i didnt follow the regimant. I went to the clinic and had myself checked, again. Now i showed the NP and she asked wat the doctor said about this spot, ( The main one had been the only spot at this moment/)  I explain to her wat was the case and that the results of my STDs came back negative, but i wasnt worried about that anymore. I told her wat he had precribed and she told me that the precribed creme would have damaged my tissue and left me w/o feelin, therefore my soldier would stand tall no more, good thing i didnt listen to Dumbass Doc. ( he was wasnt my regular doctor anyways so?)   Now i read that masturbating without lub can also cause this, and sperm being on the head over night. I i have had this happen after a drunk night of sex with my girlfriend ( at the time), but i shower the next morning. sooo? idk but wat can i do to rid myself of having to hide or explain this situation to future partners?  This spot cracks and bleeds (minimal) but stil blood on a mans sausage isnt apettizing to a women. lol wats my issue here?

I got the same problem guys, just quit masturbating for a while but if you really wanna then use some lube to make it easier on the skin, that's all

THE ANSWER - Guys, I had this problem for about 5-6 months and saw 3 different urologists about it. The skin on my penis would start to get red and blotchy and within a few days start to peel off. I was frightened that it was an STD but it wasn't. Finally, a doctor prescribed me HYDROCORTISONE OINTMENT USP 1%. I put a dab of this stuff on the tip of my finger and spread it evenly around my penis, and within an hour I started to see it was helping. After using it twice a day or so for about a week, it was completely gone. And it stayed gone. A few weeks after that, a very tiny bit of peeling started again and I applied it again it and it went totally away. Its been about 8 months now and I don't have any more peeling penis problems. I heard that you don't need a doctor to prescribe this ointment to you, but my doc did for me. It works, try it. This was the answer for me.

Ugh...Ok, last month, or about 6 weeks ago, I developed a red irritation on the understand of my glans, just underneath the head of my penis.  I had sex with my girlfriend, unprotected as we normally do, and it got even more red and irritated.  I noticed she was a bit dry the few times we had sex, which I believe let do this.  During this time, my penis head seemed to "crinkle" a bit and "dry" up, but there was no itch or irritation otherwise.  BTW, we have both been test, swabbed, and blood, and neither of us have any STIs.  We stopped having sex and after the irritation of the glans then got very rad and a week later I saw my dermatologist. 

The dermatologist said it was nothing more than irritation, but that he had not seen anything like it before, which was somewhat mildly alarming.  Regardless, he told me to use some 1% hydrocortisone ointment for about a week, which I did.  However, I had already been using it for a week prior, so I used that, liberally, for about 2 weeks and then stopped.   

I noticed the redness was gone, but my glans had turned a ligher, more pinkish color, where it is normally darker.  BTW, I am circumcised.  ALSO, the skin was a lot shinier and seemed "thinner".  I read that overuse of corticosteroid creams can have this affect on penis skin, which absorbs at a rate of 30%.  So I sort of freaked a bit that the cream/ointment had damaged my glans even further.   

I posted on here, and most everyone told me not to worry.  So I've tried that. 

Now, I masturbated a few times last week and the skin, while not read, appears still be sensitive and irritated.  I masturbated, I rubbed against my underwear, but only the base.  I thought to put some Calmoseptine on it, as I read it can help with irritated skin burn.  HOWEVER, after two days of using that, the glans turned even MORE white and discolored and more sensitive.  I can almost see blood vessels.   

When this started about six weeks ago, I had a dried up look on the head of the penis only.  So I'm now wondering if I have penile psoriasis from irritation, or if I have a major friction burn from over masturbation rubbing against clothing and it is taking a really long time to heal due also do the the creams and  such. 

I have decided NO masturbation for the next 4-6 weeks and no sex as well.  Thankfully, my girlfriend understands and we have enjoy each other physically in other ways, but it is very hard to abstain.   

My question is, does this sound like penile psoriasis or just a major friction burn that is taking a long time to heal? 

I have had friction burn from rough sex or my girlfriend being too rough with masturbation before, but a little Neosporin healed it within a few days.  This is lasting a LONG time, so I am worried it is a much bigger problem. 

Thanks in advance for the help with your own experiences.

Hi guys. Yeah I have a similiar issue. I have been with three girls unprotected the last week, started noticing this the other day and freaked out. Thought I caught an STD but sure enough its just a fungus infection. Any idea how quickly it will resolve itself? It sucks being forced to turn down sex, two days in a row where I had to tell the chicks I had to go home...

Hi everybody, I've been reading through these comments and have a similar issue.
