Hey everyone.

i have had this on and of for 3 months and it comes and goes. some red dots, and according to my doctor he said its due to lack of hygine and that i have been using a steroid cream to much that makes skin thinner and make easier to get infection.

I have tested for STD(ghonnorea,chlamydia,herpes) and came up with nothing.

This seems to appear when its to moist under forskin i guess.

it goes away in matter of hours and some times days.

Any ideas.

      Your skin probably need time to recover, keep it clean and dont touch it for a longer time .

    A steroid cream used correctly will not thin the skin - why were you using it?

    This does look oddly familiar to my issue and I also believe it to be a skin issue after an unknown cause. I posted quite a bit about it within my thread and i know there's also other long going ones with an issue like this. Feel free to look through mine as well. If it gets irritated then a moisturizing cream like Ceravu resolves my issue within 24 hours.

    Since the pandemic has calmed down a bit, I should go see a urologist within the coming months, but from all my research so far I think they'll come to the same conclusion of it being balanitis of some form.
