How Can Skin Infection On The Penis Be Treated?

I ve had this thing on my penis for like 7 months now. Its not an std or anything, its just a thing that i got while masturbating and now the skin on my penis has turned into something near a dead skin cause it has a pinkish color. At first I didn t thought about it much but now I think i have to do something or it will remain like this, so I started putting 3% hydrogen peroxide on it three days ago. Is it safe putting 3% hydrogen peroxide on the skin and will it fix the problem?

Hello,

It could be an infection because you don't know what it is. So, my advice, please go to a dermatologist. He will look into this and prescribe you proper medicine. And about the dead skin thing well dead skin in dark and painless. If it's pink, it's healthy. Pouring 3% peroxide can make it worse so, make a visit to a dermatologist as soon as possible.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prashant
