How To Cure Red And Dry Patches On Foreskin Of Penis?
Hello, about 1 year ago I noticed non raised red shiny dry patches on the foreskin of my penis and one very small one on the glans. They did not itch, burn or tingle. I applied Vaseline to the areas for a week or two and they disappeared. About 1 week ago I noticed similar patches in the same locations with the same symptoms. I have been applying aquaphor ointment for 1 week which seems to be helping with the dryness but the redness still persists. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
