hello so for the past few weeks has been frustrating so i have been experiencing dry swelling in my penile glans & weird purple color around the rim my doctor said he thinks its friction burn but its been there for a couple weeks now almost a month its very dry & can be flaky but doesnt really itch that much and when i get an erection it becomes more swollen & irritated its made me very upset & when i ejaculate it comes out like water not sticky at all & i dont even get pre ejaculation like i used to, & i also have this odd red thing on my foreskin you can see in one of the pictures, im just very upset because i havent had sex with my partner of 3 years since this has happened & i also want to know what is wrong with me has anyone else ever experienced this i dont have a clue to what it could be & i need some help because the doctors are no help & keep telling me its fine but it has been almost a month & im really concerned please tell me if this is normal or not & how i could treat it if i can...

    It doesn't look that unusual to me.  Is the "odd red thing" on your foreskin in the second pic?

    If you're not getting pre-ejaculate and the consistency of your semen has changed, that's potentially more concerning, You could ask to see a urologist, but they may also say it's fine.

    If it's just balanitis, then these links may help:

    Washing (with water, no soap) daily, and taking a leak and washing after masturbation or sex will probably help, and you could also try Canesten cream or Daktarin cream.  Loose fitting cotton underwear may help, and some sites recommend washing underwear with non-biological washing powder or liquid.
