Cracks/splits on penis

[HuggieMonster]

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help me here, i'll give as much detail as I can. I am having a problem with my penis in that I am getting small splits or cracks on there and a dry patch of skin. I have been to the doctor and they have prescribed me some canesten for thrush and when I do the treatment things do seem better, however I am also not really doing much other than going to the toilet during this time so i'm not sure if the rest is healing it or the cream. However when I stop using the cream about a week later it does get itchy and can get a little red. And if I masterbate it will feel very raw and will usually crack again. I have masterbated during the use of canesten and it does seem a little better but does still feel a little raw after.

The dry skin however does seem to go while using the canesten...not sure if thats the canesten or the moisturiser in the cream doing that. The dry skin would be on the tip of my foreskin and it would be the tight area if I try and pull the foreskin back. I can do this while flaccid but can't get it all the way back while fully erect.

This all seemed to kick off properly around Christmas last year, but prior to that I would notice things would feel very raw if I had not masterbated for several days..however the persistent cracking is relatively new. I would have happily masterbated regularly prior to this. I initially went to the doctor a few years ago because it felt very raw after sex and that was when they initially prescribed thrush.

So I have a couple of questions:

Is this thrush?

If it is can I keep using the Canesten regularly to keep things under control?

What are the long term options to fix this?

I am thinking of going to a GUM clinic although the doctor did not seem to spot anything other than telling me to use the thrush cream so perhaps that is all it is, but how can I stop it from recurring?

Finally, the doctor did do bloods for me and as far as I know this included diabetes (as I am overweight) and all came back fine. I'm happy to pester the doctor again but just wondering if anyone has anything more to add.

Sorry for the long message...just coving all the bases

Cheers

This is will work for yeast infection:

Hi - I had this problem for several months. Due to some circumstances, my hygiene was extremely low for few days. Later when I got this problem I din't know the cause. Doctor did all the STD tests, but they were all negative. I applied aloe vera (directly from plant) and it worked slowly after few days but I got this problem again later as I reduced the frequency or when I masturbate more than twice. Skin stretch was never the same. I also applied coconut oil in between and it seemed to work.

But what worked most effectively was the almond oil. Apply every 4-6hrs for 1-2 days and keep the area dry at all times. Change the underwear even if there is slight moisture. I got relief in just 24hrs for the problem I've been stressed about for months. I knew the issue was hygiene, so was about to tackle it. Key is to not let the fungus grow. Almond oil is a powerful antifungal solution. Elasticity of my foreskin is also back now! And it seems to be even better than before! It was painful to retract for last couple of months. I was really worried that the scar tissue from the breaks was making it even tight, but I don't have that issue now! Hope this helps! Frequency is the key, depending on how severe it is. You will see a very mild white patch on the skin which looks like dry skin - but that is the fungus. You will be back to normal once it's gone!

I've searched a lot about this problem in Internet and dint find a solution. So posting it for people like me who were embarrassed to go to a doctor or who are not properly diagnosed! Just in 24hrs, I seem to be fine, but I'll continue this treatment for a week and then gradually reduce it to once a day and see how it goes. Idea is to kill all the fungus. So see what will work best for you! Also this oil can be consumed!! That will help too.

Does cracks on penis will cure with this remedy ?

Ok, I know this is an old post but it came up when I was searching a few weeks back as I HAD the same problem. I could manage down with thrush treatments but nothing work well.

What did work, and this is pure serendipity, I met a girl who had a thing for giving oral whilst using anti bacterial mouthwash. It made for a nice sensation for me and she obviously got over her germ thing. The thing is I noticed that the next day I didn't have the white build up when I washed in the morning. So I thought why not try it.

Long story short 14 days after washing, drying and then using anti bacterial mouth wash on all parts under the foreskin and around the shaft, but not drying it off, 3 times a day, I appear to have cracked it and now have no problems at all after stopping doing this 3 weeks ago. The skin cracking was gone after 5 days but still felt sore when having sex. However after two weeks it all appears to now be good.

I have even had comments about how fresh my cock is from partners, so as odd as it sounds, it may be worth a shot for general use.

I hope that helps someone, as the problem was starting to drive me insane.

Yeah a bacterial infection the doctor can do a swab to confirm and will give you an anti bacterial cream fucidic acid to treat it. Same as jamesblake11. 5 days three times a day and good to go. May not get the fresh breath smell down there but will do the trick. It took me months to figure it out assuming it was thrush because the canestin worked but it didn’t completely take it away.

A real good thing to use is a creme called Man1 Man Oil. It is made just for the penis and contains vitamins, proteins and antioxidants that boost its overall health... from skin texture to hygiene to function it really helps. Check it out for sure.
