I have the same thing I believe and I believe I have had it before. No idea what causes it but I know it went away at least once before. Will post if I find any answers.
i wrote the above response, but i was wrong. that did not solve the problem. still sticky this morning, and my hands never went to underarms. SOLUTION: baby powder. i read this on another forum. my shaft is smooth and soft again. will see how long this lasts...
not sure if this will help anyone, but i discovered that i was washing my underarms in the shower -- i do not use a washcloth, just my hands -- and the anti-perspirant in my underarms was being wiped onto my penis -- making it have the same tacky, unsmooth feeling that your underarms have if you use a solid anti-perspirant. i washed my penis really well with soap, then put lotion on it -- but i have to remember not to wipe or massage my penis after wiping my underarms. it took me weeks to figure this out. Kiehl's makes a better antiperspirant than those inexpensive antiperspirant sticks -- i realized i do not have the problem when i use Kiehl's.
I went to the dermatologist the other day and he looked at it for like 2 seconds and said oh thats Seborrheic dermatitis. I cant find anywhere that the symptoms include sticky patches that are itchy and tingling.
He said it wasnt contagious but i think im going to get a second opinion.
I guess my question is, if this was an std wouldnt I have some kind of symtoms years ago? Or can stds lay dormant for a long time before they appear?
Before my present girlfriend of 14 years, i hadn't had sex for 2 years prior and that was with my ex wife of 7 years, however I have recently learned that she had many, many partners before me and the last one before me was just about 6 months prior to when we started to have sex.
How long does it take for an std to show up if you do have it.
