Penis cyst or something?

[bigal21]

I have had a white patch underneath my foreskin (when i pull it back it is between my foreskin/head of the penis) and it started off small and over the last 4-5 months has grown, slighyly elevated and seemed to carry some fluid. Anyway i have been to approx 7 doctors and 1 sexual clinic doctor, all say it looks normal and isnt an STD, some suggestions were vitiligo or a small cyst. Over the last 3 days it has been causing some discomfort and went red, I went to see another doctor and same response "looks normal, leave it and it will go away". Today the skin peeled off the "cyst" and it now looks like a small patch of missing skin with flesh showing. I don't think its herpes as the last time i had sex was over 6 months ago, it was protected and this spot has been there for a while now. It certainly isnt a wart either. Could it be from "hard" masturbation?
It is similar to when you get a burn and it bubbles up and pops open, however, this one took abour 4 months to do so.

How many doctors will it take to convince you that you don't have an STD?  Yes, it could be from masturbation.  I advise you to listen to the last doctor you say: "looks normal, leave it and it will go away."

Best.

Sorry forgot to add that one of the doctors had once advised i should use aldarra, as it is a genial cream and i used it 3 days ago....could it have burnt the healthy skin and that is why it has peeled? I think i was too paranoid and should have listened to the first 2-3 doctors instead seeing 8. If it is due to aldarra will it heal?

It could be a sebaceous cyst.  They are not harmful and many men get them.  If a doctor evaluated them and didn't feel they were anything to worry about, then leave it at that.  In the meantime, look up sebaceous cyst on google and check some information on it.  Cysts can pop irritated or squeezed by the way.

Why use Aldara if it's not a wart?  Yes, Aldara causes irritation.

It's crazy I think I almost may have had the same thing, I was kind of creeped out by it.  I don't know how warts are suppossed to appear but this little cluster of bumps like seemed to just appear out of the blue the next day after the night before I had masterbated, I didn't think I had that hard but still the place lasted for like almost a month, I went to several doctors and none of them thought it was anything, they just said it was a bump/irritated.  I was able to pop one or two of them and all it did was make water come out and then bleed, what the hell was that?

thanks guys....just letting u know i have gone to see a doctor .. again regarding the raw skin thats now exposed....been advised the aldara has burnt healthy skin causing it to bubble and pop... I have now been advised to wash it with warm water, no soap .. and use KENACOMB (anti-bacterial cream with an antibiotic agent etc)...looking good luckly.
