Chafing on Penis

by David246, Feb 18, 2008 05:05AM
Hi, recently I have been experiencing a chafing on my penis shaft below the head for the past two months.  It does not cause much pain, however, the area gets worse after intercourse and becomes red and swollen.  The swelling dies down after a few hours but the area thats chaffed never seems to compeletly heal.  The skin on the part that is chaffed (assuming chaffing is the right diagnosis) is much thinner than the surrounding area.

It started off as a few small cuts along the creases of the skin. The chaffed area has grown larger within the last 2 months.  I have stopped intecourse for a few weeks thinking that was the cause for the spreading.

Can anyone PLEASE tell me what is the cause and reason behind the chaffing and how I can cure this problem?  I have given it many weeks to heal and it has not healed yet.  I am starting to get very worried.  Please help.  Thank you.
