Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi there, I have this unusual rather dry small patch of skin on the top of my penis that s been there for a couple weeks and I was just wondering what could ve caused this. It doesn t hurt but it is unnerving and makes me worried it might be something more than just really dry skin.
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Small dry patch on the penis could be due to fungal infection of the skin. Kindly clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily. After drying, apply Clotrimazole with Betamethazole cream over the lesion. It would be better to apply moisturizer cream at bedtime. Keep the genital area under good hygiene. Do not wear moist underwear and avoid friction. Abstain from sexual activities till the lesions heal completely. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
