Having Problem With Penis, Rash, Dry Whitish Skin, Spreading, Masturbate A Lot. Remedy?
I m having problems with my penis... since the last week, i noticed the base of my penis shaft had some whitish dry skin , more like a rash , and had small cuts and i could see a little bit of blood from the cuts. The dry white skin eventually faded away and now i have this leathery kind of skin of normal color. It stings a lot. The dry skin is actually spreading towards the end of the shaft now. I m still a virgin and the last relationship i had was years ago. I masturbate a lot, almost once a day. A lot of forums i read said it could be a yeast infection , but i ve never had sex as of yet. What could this be? I m really worried.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It can be due to dermatitis or eczema skin. For mild-moderate symptoms a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone as dermacort), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).But they are available under prescription and should be taken only after consulting a dermatologist. Symptoms can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Use good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin.
Cuts might be due to friction during masturbation.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
Hope this helps
