Hello I have a question about a pretty delicate subject, I have a dry itchy spot the appears on my penis. It s dry and flacky and itches. It s on both sides of the shaft of my penis. I don t get it any where else genitally or on my mouth. I don t know if it s herpes or not? I have had unprotected sex but no penetration and there was sores on this persons genitally or mouth. I have also been to the dr twice this month for other reasons and they tested my blood for a lot of stuff cause they didn t know what was wrong with me and both times they tested me Blood it came back prestine, no infection in my body white blood cell count was amazing everything was great I was later diagnosed with severe anxiety. But anyways I have this recurring thing for a few years not on my penis shaft and I have never had any discharge from My penis or pain urinating or anything else. I have also noticed it s right where I masterbate and if I use certain things to masterbate it gets worse. But if I put like exzaema cream on it it gets better. Could it be herpes? And would both my blood tests the dr took this month have shown it?
You are having dry, itchy, flaky spot on the penis shaft. It recurs since a year. You have been using certain things to masturbate and rash is at that point. You are suggested to take care of your private organ, wash it and keep it dry. Apply hydrocortisone ointment to relieve the itch. Taking non-sedating antihistamines will also be helpful. Do not masturbate for a couple of days, you can use eczema cream as it suits you.
Take a course of antifungal(fluconazole), orally for relieve as fungal infection may trigger symptoms. Get clinically examined by a Urologist, get STD tests done. If reports come positive you will be treated with antibiotics and antivirals. Avoid any type of sexual activity for a couple of days. Stay away from addictions if any.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
