Hello, I am an 18 years old male virgin. About over a month ago, I noticed a patch of rough skin on the shaft of my penis just a bit below the tip of the penis. It doesn t hurt at all. I thought it might be a scratch, a slight burn from fricEtion during masturbation, or just dry. I applied lotion and neosporin to the affected area and waited for it to heal. Everytime it looked like it was going to heal, the dead skin cells on the affected area would peel off to reveal the same rough skin. After about 2 weeks, I started getting worried because it wouldn t go away at all and just remained the same, so I did some research on the internet to try to find out if it was something serious and worth a trip to see my physician about it. I thought it might be HPV and the rough skin could be a wort or worts. However, I just had my second HPV vaccination shot about two months ago so I m thinking it can t be HPV. Plus, I have had no sexual intercourse whatsoever as I first stated. I even wash my hands before masturbating. I than thought it might be chaffing, but it s been over a month and the condition has not changed. In fact, recently two additonal small patches of dry skin the size of little bumps have appeared each on either side of the shaft of my penis. These two new small patches of dry skin act the same as the bigger patch of rough skin. They just shed dead skin cells to reveal the same rough skin. I d really like to know what this condition possibly could be and hear it from a doctor so I can determine whether this warrants a trip to see my physican or not. Thank you for your time and help.
