Splotchy discoloration and wrinkles on penis

Hello -

The head of my penis at some point in the last two years became pretty wrinkled. There is also general splotchiness in color. I think most of it might have been from masturbation. I've seasonal reoccuring ecyzema on my hands and have had a genital wart removed from the base my penis 6 months ago.

So any suggestions would be great, especially if there is anything to reverse the effect.

Thanks!

Hi,

You need to wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products, new soaps, detergents at the sites.

Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene . Wear lose comfortable clothes. Wash all your linen and towels etc with a disinfectant solution.

Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.

For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone or desonide), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).

Let us know if you need any further information.

It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for the symptoms and a proper clinical examination.

Let us know if you need any other information and post us on how you are doing.
