Red Irritaded Sometimes Flaking
Posted: 12-30-07 12:50pm

skin on sides of penis (shaft). Seems to get sore/worse after sex/masturbation. no discharge or anything like that.

have tried using hydrocortisone cream, which clears it up to an extent but it always seems to come back

and idea what could be causing this?

Dryness? If this has happened since before you ever had sex then it's how your body it. If it started after sex, it might be an infection of some kind.

It sounds like it's just dry. Put lotion on it every single day.

it doesnt match any symptoms of any sti's

and it's only happened within the last year, it occasionally appears on my testicles too, infact thats where it started.

could it be a reaction to washing detergent, saliva, or even condoms?

it is really annoying

Psoriasis maybe? Yes, it could be a reaction to any and all of the things you listed.
