tiny black specks and lines

I'm a 16 year old virgin and decided to use hair conditioner to masturbate which I am embarrassed to say and probably shouldn't have done. At first the upper area of my testicles on the front side got swollen and burned. Then it got leathery and I am able to peel off what looks and feels like dead skin. Now the head of my penis is wrinkly and leathery and I can peel off dead skin there but not as much. Just recently I discovered and continue to discover tiny black specks and also lines in random areas of my penis. A collection on the head, some on the top circumcision scar, and some that are the most visible on the underside of the back of my penis. I've never had these before and I want to know if these will go away. All of this happening to me has put me on the verge of suicide to be honest. I hope it's only a minor problem.

I need help me my husband and daughter are getting random bumps. Feel like stuff crawling on face in ears and sometimes on head. We have all been treated for scabies due to another person i know having it. When i feel like somethings crawling i scratch or rub and see tiny black specks. I have Google and binged and asked and everything almost sounds same. The doctors never did a skin graph first said no about scabies then a maybe.  i feel fine for a while a then a sting or crawling sensation. My house has been cleaned even bagged cleanlaundry. Have taken every precaution and don't know what to do.

Gee  Bhupinder Kaur, MD, I am surprised you ignored the suicide comment which is a cry out of desperation!

No suicide. Now mattter how dark your world suicide is never the answer. Your world will get brighter when you face your problem and there is light at the end of the tunnel. You may have Morgellons but you can go into remission. I have it. If you do, no amount of conditioner could have caused. write back if below applies to you. There are doc who treat.and plenty of support. you will be all right. Fisrt is building up immune system.

research Morgellons and black specks. Morgellons affects compromised immune systems. It is a real disease and those that have it are being chastised in the medical community just like the first aides victims. Morgellons is a systemic disease. Some have it in blood before outward symptoms appear. Ignore debunkers, there is a theory disease is caused by the synthetic biology industry and if that is the case they wil do everything to shut people down numbers continue to grow to 300k world wide with this affliction.

Hello,
It looks like contact dermatitis and allergic reaction. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.

For mild-moderate symptoms a weak steroid may be used, whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid. But they are available under prescription and should be taken only after consulting a dermatologist. Also wear cotton clothes and use mild soaps like Dove.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
