What do i do

by pride27, Aug 26, 2009 04:10PM
i went to the beach a few days ago, when i emerged from the water i realized that the skin at the tip of my penis was burning it went on for quite a while, i figured it had something to do with the salt water.however it continued through the night. the next morning the skin started to contract and tighten and it became difficult to roll the skin back since i am not circumcised,i also noticed that when i washed my penis the skin at the immediate tip of the penis began to shed.now that area has become very tender...................................whats happening to my penis.

Hello,
From the symptoms it sounds like contact dermatitis. Avoid using any lotions and creams over the skin for the meantime. Wash the area with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat it dry. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area and see if this improves.If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort.

If the symptoms persist then please get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
