Penis Skin Condition
by feaking out, Sep 11, 2006 12:00AM
I have what appears to be a skin condition on the shaft/head of my penis. The skin on the side of the penis and on top of the head penis is wrinkling! Specifically, where the shaft connects to the head I have skin growths (or lines). In a few of the irritation areas it appears to be almost a circular pattern (could it be an advance case of wringworm or pin worm?). The underneath side of my penis appears to have two (2) concentrated areas the skin is being drawn too... again with the lined/circular pattern present. I have also noticed a red iritation at the head of my penis (with a couple of darker dots within the hole of the penis). When I look at the skin close it appears to have small (possible) fungus type growths within the previously mentioned lined areas!!! Please help as I'm freaking out... what do you think this could be?

I think you have a normal penis that you are looking at way too closely. I'm not sure why you should be doing this--perhaps you've taken some risks. In any case, please stop trying to diagnose yourself, and get a doctor to look at you. That's the only way you're going to be able to stop worrying.
take care.
