Hi noticed some irritation on the penis glans and on the foreskin on Saturday morning. skin was dry and appeared to be wrinkled and peeling. Applied Daktarin which has cleared things up a little. skin is still dry and be quite itchy especially on the foreskin around the corona area.

    I believe it is a type of STD that has no research as it is a level 1 type of STD in comparison with other most common types. Level 1 meaning it isn't severe as most common types. Even though it is severe for the individual doctors will not understand as once it is transmitted (female to male) it cannot be transmitted again. It will always remain dormant with slight inflammation that affects pressure of urination and ejaculation however at times it can flare up more severely when having sexual intercourse with someone that's bacteria that reacts to your bacteria. There is still no cure as very little research has been done. Doctors will write it as Balanitis however it differs as the medication used for balanatis has very little to no effect. Doctors will recommend steroid creams, Anti fungal and last resort to circumcision which i would not recommend. I would tell you to keep experiment with natural products or to wait it out till more research is conducted and a cure is created.

    Disclaimer* I am not a doctor and above is only my belief however I have been having this for over 4 years.

      not a bad shout mate and you might be on the money. Does seem strange there are quite a few people dealing with this and have been for a long time.

      Tried a wide range from oils (coconut oil, lavender oil, etc) to creams. Some tend to help with the burning sensation and inflammation however when you are too reliant on them it can be a problem when you stop using them. Neither have proven to be a cure nor long term benefit. In my opinion Nano tech will be the only solution for many skin and other detrimental problems. Due to covid things have been backtracked and so might taken a couple years for it to be commercially used. I saw that someone said using ciprofloxacin at 500mg for a month with 800mg ibuprofen has helped him in some other chat with similar symptoms, however I am skeptical to keep taking more antibiotics.

    yeah i get pain, not agony but a constant irritation. It varies every day. On the corona, glans, anus etc.

    You ever had any other medical issues? kidney stones, other sti, shingles?

      Similar to me then. Seems to be different everyday. This all started last year when i started to become stressed. Constant stress on my body i believe has attributed to this aswell. Like a circle though as this causes stress

      No other major medical problems. To be fair ive never really had anything touch wood.
