Red dry flaky transparent patch on glans

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hello,

For a few years I've been dealing with a red patch with dry transparent textured skin over it.

The texture disappears when erect and turns into a slightly-red smooth patch.

When flaccid it is pronounced as seen on pictures.

Two smaller similar looking spots seem to have somewhat recovered over the years but this one won't budge.

  • *I suspect it might have occurred as a result of friction and chemicals, but I am not so sure.
  • Not washing immediately after arousal seems to make it worse, but I am also not sure.
  • Not sexually active

I'd appreciate any kind of insight that you can offer.

Thanks!
