penis skin reddens when wet
Posted , 1 user is following.
I have a badly damaged area of the head of my penis caused by a bad abrasion over ten years ago. the skin never healed properly. friction , heat etc aggravate it. it looks terrible and has destroyed me psychologically. have been celibate for many years.
i have seen many dermatologists with no help given. they talk about hypopigmentation and irritation but only offer steroid creams which i used once and it helped but the problems come back when you stop the cream and also i have heard that ongoing steroid use is not a good idea for the long term.
my issue now is that when washing, as soon as water (tepid) hits this area it starts to redden ie a vasodilation happens. im not sure what is causing this but the skin was damaged before. a dermatologist mentioned to me that with aging (im 67 years old) the skin thins out and that the barrier is damaged.
i usually air dry and after about half an hour the reddens subsides back to baseline.
has anyone else experienced their glans skin damage reddening when it is washed? could this be an allergy or contact dermatitis to water?
