tight,dry foreskin, bumps and peeling skin

by mashed68, Nov 25, 2006 12:00AM
A couple years ago I starting having a problem, the first time being the worst. My skin would always get dry, tight and crack open, but this was different. It started as just un-comfortable, but became a full blown infection of some sort, with the entire head of my penis bright red and oozing clear sticky liquid. Being the scared person I am, I tried to fix it myself and put some anti-fungal cream on. It seemed to help, but it has been coming back every once in a while [every couple of months or so] and Im becoming worried as this had never happened before. Any ideas? Like I said the skin gets red and irritated, dry and tight. I get bumps on the head of the penis and the skin on the head and foreskin just starts peeling off. It usually goes away after a week or so.

For heavens sake, go to the doctor!  You can get eczema there.  Show it to a dermatologist or your own doctor and get properly treated.

If your next words are going to be that you have no $, then try your local health dept.  Or save up to go to the doctor.  No one here can tell you what it is, or what to do about it beyond showing it to a doctor.
