hey thanks a lot! It's very comforting that I don't have an STD! ill try a few of these measures.
Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination,but the various possibilities for your symptoms are dry skin(xerosis),eczema or fungal infections.Also since a lump has appeared on your penis,STD’s and herpes have to be ruled out.
You can apply a mild steroid cream or calamine lotion to the affected area. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can also be used. You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing. Covering the affected area with bandages and dressings can help protect the skin and prevent scratching. You should choose mild soaps without dyes or perfumes and use a mild, unscented laundry detergent when washing clothes, towels and bedding.
Pls take a second opinion from a dermatologist if the symptoms persist.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
