Ive been having sex with a new partner over the last month... We have always used a condom but I noticed last week I got a dry, scab like spot on my shaft. Is this anything to worry about or just a rug burn or something from being too rough against clothing?

      Isn't that something on the glans? I'm talking about this mark on my shaft. It is looking better after waking up this morning so I think I'm just going to wait like adhari said.

    The small spot you've highlighted between your fingers is just a simple boil (folliculitis). It should settle on its own, but if you are anxious you could apply Germolene, Savlon or Dettol (antiseptic) cream.

      Thanks! That's reassuring, that is the part I was worried about.
