Penis Issue

[mark573]

Hi everyone I have had an issue now for around 3 months where some days my penis is itchy at nights mostly and I wake up and it looks like a snake shedding skin and I can peel a lot of skin off it.

I recently got circumcised around a year ago but this has been happening for the last 3 months. I'm not sure if its thrush or something else but I always wear protection with women.

I can put hydrochloride type cream on my penis a couple of times a day this seems to help but then a few days later its back. At first, I thought it could have been a change in washing detergent or soap. But I have tested different detergents and soap and still have the issue.

It seems to be nights where it will get itchy mostly in bed and then when I awaken it has lot of skin that can be peeled off and sometimes lines on the bottom of the penis like an elastic band has been pulled back and hit off it so look like scar lines but not and they will disappear quite fast.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be I have left it for 3 months thinking it would just go or if it was thrush it would go but it hasn't sometimes its fine 20% of the time but then the other days its bad so I'm decided to message here to see if anyone has any ideas of what this is.

I remember around 3 months when it started it was very itchy every day and especially nights but it still gets bad but not all the time now I have no idea whether its thrush or something else such as an STI but if its thrush I could just get tablets I'm guessing.

Also, the peeling skin and itchiness affects both all the shaft and the head of the penis.

Get to a doctor and get a proper diagnosis. Trying to treat things you do not have may make matters worse.

Wow mate poor you! That looks right itchy! Yeah I’d go to the docs, if it’s jus dry skin ur hydrating cream should have sorted it out

Hi Man, there has to be something causing it. you should contact your doctor and have it checked, get a proper diagnosis and treatment they may refer you to a dermatologist. is that the only part of your body that is affected

[Nigel5975]

Yes, a visit to a health care professional is in order. I would visit a dermatologist or a urologist if either of those were easily accessible to you.

[mark573]

Yes its weird sometimes it gets bad but seems to be at night when I go to bed or wear certain boxers even though they get washed. I have a feeling this is related to harsh soaps even its hard to say.

I do remember a small rash around my pelvic area which was eczema as I do have eczema so could this eczema ?

Im thinking this is more skin related rather then STD etc I will get it checked but anyone never had this issue here?

[MrMac99 in reply to mark573]

Hi. yes I think it probably is a skin condition perhaps eczema. I think a consultation with dermatologist will be your best option after you try the creams.

Also just like to add it only seems to happen at night and is not itchy but gets very flakey even worse than the above picture. I will book in with a doctor and show them a picture. First I'm going to go 7 days using hydrocloride cream and also use coconot oil to keep it hydrated and see if this fixes it if not doctors I go.

It is fungus.

[mark573 in reply to Anugo]

Do you know what is needed to sort the issue out anti-fungus cream or like thrush tablets from the pharmacy?

[mark573 in reply to Anugo]

Try coconut oil and eat more yogurt.

Have you tried using just Vaseline two or three times a day. Also you may want to contact your doctor.
