Not Sure What's Going On...*ahem* Down There. Posted: 05-18-04 20:34pm
For the past couple months or so, my penis
has been in bad condition, real bad at
times. It's red and dry, flakey dry.
There are some little cuts around it, and
it can get very itchy at times. It's been
very irritating for too long, I gotta take
care of it...Not going to a doctor of
course though
:p. Well, I might have to if I can figure
out how to solve it myself. Every time I
let it fully heal (takes about 2 weeks
usually, 2...Long weeks), then end up
masturbating once again, it just goes back
to how it was before, and i'm not
masturbating any harder than I used to.
So I don't know why it's happening, I
can't seem to find any name for a
condition like it. It's been really
annoying for all this time though, i've
been medicating it as much as I can, with
aloe vera mostly, along with some other
creams, which I selected pretty carefully.
It also seems like it gets worse sometimes
even when I don't masturbate, I see new
wounds opening around it, at least I think
they are new. Them i'm like "how did
that happen?". So in the past 2 months or
so i've only masturbated 4 or 5 times,
which is a big change from the usual 3 or
4 times a week. When I used to masturbate
3 or 4 times a week, my penis would be in
fine condition, so I don't know what the
problem is. Can anyone help me?

I'm no expert, and don't have any
experience exactly, but it sounds like it
could be a sort of fungal infection, i.E.
Like athlete's foot. It probably doesnt
have anyting to do with masturbating,
unless you are passing on the condition
from your hands? You probably should see
a doctor, or if you are embarrassed they
might be able to help you at a std clinic.
But don't be embarrassed, that is what
doctors are there for, and they have seen
a lot worse!

Thanks for the reply.
This is the same guy, new username
though.
It's been 3 weeks and my penis isn't fully
healing, it's not dry anymore, but it's
still red and often very itchy, it bleeds
out of some of the little cuts that are
still around. I can't understand why it
would still be in bad condition, it's
driving me bonkers though. I've been
using goldbond medicated itch stopping
cream, which soothes the itch pretty well,
after kinda the first burning sensation
that is ,
that's usually when it starts to bleed,
when it itches real bad. I've looked all
around the net for any kind of similar
symptoms and thought maybe there's some
kind of name for the problem i'm having.
Haven't had any luck thought. Any other
ideas on what to do? . I've been
thinking about trying antibiotic
medication. Not sure if it's a good idea
or not though. I'm probably not going to
see a doctor unless it gets worse.

Think it would be alright to try some
antibiotics, or would they even do
anything?

Please go to a doctor. It is their job to
help you and you shouldn't be embarassed.
I am sure they have dealt with worse. I
am a nurse and it doesn't even phase me to
see and hear some of the most interesting
things. It does sound like some type of
fungal infection. If you go to the
doctor, they can treat you with
antibiotics. Please for your sake so you
don't have to deal with it anymore. Good
luck.

If you are too embarrased to go to the
doctor, try rubbing some honey over it and
see if it does anything. Honey is a
pretty good anti-fungal and might help you
out.
Its best you see a doctor. The way you
are describing the problem, I think you
need sound medical advice, not guesses.

I have the same thing man. Since about
last friday i've had a little red area
right at the base of my penis where it's
been somewhat dry and flakey. It
constantly itches and burns. I'm trying
to find some sort of cream to put on it
but to no avail so far.
:p. Well, I might have to if I can figure
out how to solve it myself. Every time I
let it fully heal (takes about 2 weeks
usually, 2...Long weeks), then end up
masturbating once again, it just goes back
