Itchy Penis [Virgin]

Posted , 4 users are following.

This discussion has been locked due to a period of inactivity.

My penis started itching about 2 months ago. It comes and goes [Maybe 4 times everyweek]. 

It doesn't hurt when I pee. It doesn't hurt when I touch it. When it itches, it doesn't hurt when I scartch it, instead it gives a sensation of pleasure mixed with satisfying an itch. It doesn't usually happen when I am turned on. It doesn't hurt at all. 

I shower daily every morning. and, when it is hotter than usual I shower again. [I don't know if that helps or not but I am trying to provide as much info as possible.]

I am a virgin, so I don't believe it is STD/STI. 

I provided pictures of what is happening.

    You'd need to see a GP or urologist, but it could be balanitis.  If you google "nhs balanitis", they have some suggestions for treatment and prevention.

      But the the tip of my penis is not what is itching.. What is itching is below the tip? Does that still count as Balanitis?

      Between Summer heat, perspiration and friction from masturbation ( which is a wonderful thing)..depending on how much ejaculate there is an where it ends up, can dry, flake and itch. As always, if you can have a doctor/dad/brother/best friend look..it's a good idea.

      Since it's above the scar line, then I think it would count as balanitis (or balanoposthitis).  I only just noticed that Patient.info has two pages on balanitis, and you should see two links for balanitis at the right hand side of this page, one for patients and one for doctors.  I suspect that some of the the suggestions from the NHS or patient.info for treatment or prevention of balanitis might help, but if it's causing a problem, then I'd definitely recommend you see your GP.  It's nothing to be embarrassed about - they see stuff like this all the time.

    Hello :-)

    Could it be that the skin on your penis and glans is a little dry and causes the trouble? It looks like that to me from what I see from your photos. If so, then avoid using soap when washing your penis as it dries the skin out even more, or at least use very mild soap/washing oil if you have to. Also you could try to add some cream to gain some moisture and especially during masturbation to not turn sore. Perhaps that could help some? Good luck!
