Skin just under the corona of my penis appears to be 'peelin Posted: 08-29-07 14:34pm
I have noticed that the skin just under
the corona of my penis appears to be
'peeling', like sunburn. Is it anything I
should be concerned about? Can you
recommend a treatment for the condition.
I first noticed the condition within the
last week. The only place that it appears
is in the area I described above.
I am sexually monogamous, (and
heterosexual).
Thank you

It's not possible to discuss a treatment
plan without a precise diagnosis. You
could be experiencing some type of
infection of the penis’s head
(balanitis) ... probably and most commonly
a yeast infection. You SHOULD visit a
dermatovenerologist about this condition
in order to secure an accurate diagnosis.
