Penis foreskin cracks during sex, peeling skin, dots and spots [documented]

I've already gone to 3 dermatologists 1 urologist , and tried all the above ointments i stated without any noticeable improvement. changed the cleaning soap for a really soft one i got for sensitive skin and without any fragrance whatsoever. I'm in a real pickle here. Getting desperate about solving this, and I'm really trying to avoid the extreme path of circumcision because i have read around that it will decrease sensitivity. thank you

but you haven't tried dermol 500??? its exactly for this type of thing, you need to give it a go.

Hi, have you read the full post? i've already tried several antifungal creams , and the problem is still here . even with the latest treatment it does not seem to be getting any better, since the red area still shows very clearly with no signs of getting better.

If i engage in sexual activity it will crack and it stings. Aside that no pain at all. I think it was balanitis in the beginning, but i might have overlooked it for so long (almost 7 months) that now it might have evolved to something way worse and more difficult (or even impossible) to reverse. I can almost relate the beginning of some symptoms, like dryness of the skin, to a infection i had 1 and a half year ago, where i was treated with some antibiotics. At the time i noticed the infection cause i had blood mixed with urine, but eventually with the medication it went away. I'm really freaking out with this. 😦

The disease can absolutely turn into something else. From what i just read some require circumcision or a biopsy of the skin around foreskin to rule out other things . also found cream that is suppose to help. Sorry you're going through this.

Hey Buddy. Just signed up to answer you. Its the use of steroid cream that thinned your skin. Steroid creams can cause skin atrophy which means the skin gets thin and also dry. So do not use steroid creams ever again.

Hi, up until today I'm still trying to figure out the cause, by doing several treatments and I've already gone to more than 5 different doctors (between urologists and dermatologists). So far I have been able to pin point the problem and what's causing it, but i have no permanent solution. So if i refrain from all sex related activities (intercourse, oral, etc) the cuts seem to heal up nicely, but when i take a really good look at it i can clearly see some places along the cut "lines" where the skin hasn't healed completely, looks like the top layer of the skin never grows back to completely close the cut. I've i try any sort of sexual activity the skill will tear again, starting exactly on the places the skin wasn't healed completely and start to grow if i continue the activity. I've also found that if i use a condom during intercourse, i can endure sexual encounter without any tearing, but in the places where the tearing usually happens will feel a bit raw and very sensitive to touch. After a lot of consideration and consults with several doctors we've reached the conclusion that the only way to go will be a circumcision, because in my case, even with the strongest corticosteroid ointments the skin has not shown any signs of improvement. I hope this extra info helps you, as this is a very uncomfortable situation.

My doctor wants to test me for all sorts of sexually transmitted diseases. I have no reason to suspect ive been exposed to anything Were you tested for STI's during your process?

Yes. All came back negative

hello, i have the exact same symptoms, and have no diagnosis yet, but looks like some kind of virus or fung infection, and i would add, that if the condition is repeated always in the same area, it points more to virus than fungus. Have you done the STI's test?

Hey,

You are not alone in this fight!

Did getting the Circumcision done solve the issue?

how painful is the circumzion ?

Hi all

I am really excited to share my journey through the same situation. I really hope you all can benefit from this as below.

Firstly, so you know I had been suffering from the exact same condition and symptoms for past 4-5 months. I went to the doctors number of times and they gave different reason each time and different treatment. recently they referred me to urology (possibly penis to be circumcised) and appointment is still far away. so when I tried to search online I came across this thread and read all of the comments. The most common reference was fungal infection. I then decided to look for all the medications I had been given in the past, I then searched online which medication was issued for fungal infection. once I found it, I along with few tips from this thread started the application of cream exact 5 days ago from today. every day twice daily(morning and night) after shower I dried up the penis and applied the anti fungal cream...rubbed it for few minutes until it completely turns into moisture. I then applied vaseline on top of it for two reasons. one as protective layer on the cream and second as a moisturiser. Guess what, I started noticing difference from the second day. Now today, after exact 5 days, the rips and dryness completely disappeared. I am thinking stop the medication from tomorrow. In case anyone wondered, I still managed to have sex (without condom) regularly these past five days and vaseline has helped a lot.

oh I forgot to mention, in past 5 months It appeared whenever I used durex condoms it made the conditions worse. so dont use latex condoms.

i second this basically exactly the same recovery just come beck from kinky weekend away with wife and i forgot how good sex felt prior to the problem, but the antifungal cream seems is the cure i mean i shower everyday before work and still got it but as mandy see the differance in 2 days only i didnt use the vasoline but could be a good extra

Hello! Thanks for sharing. Do you have new insights?

I'm dealing with a similar situation. Would you mind sharing the name of the products you used?

Thanks in advance.

after 5 days of regular treatment , I have now stopped using the anti fungal cream. I had sex and no more crack anymore. I am so relieved that it has finally disappeared. here is the cream I used

I am seeing a lot of these posts. I would hope the scientists and doctors would want to find out what this is. Money needs to be used and researchh needs to be done. Every ER or Dr. office should be aware of rare and new diseases. Anything that falls under this category will say unknown, needs to be tested with skin, hair, blood, urine, and discharge. We should not need 7-8 dr visits to try and figure it out. Improve our health Care ! Patients should also be advised about, being over treated, at the cost of funding that is trying to be ahead of the curve. This needs to be in the ER so Dr. or patients dont have to worry about billing in unique circumstances

hello , where did you get the cream ? i have the same symptoms

hi, sorry what was the cream you used? ive told my gp four times and no success treating it and it seems to be getting worse, for 2 or 3 days after sex if foreskin stretches it has tiny little tears. and takes a few days to heal. i really dont want to have a circumcision and thats all my doc is suggesting now.

not true i have a Circumcision and i get it

circumcision will help if its removing the affected area, Nd it lets it breathe better. circumcision will work if removing the skin that has the issue. its possible u have it, but circumcision can work
