Red irritated frenulum

Posted , 5 users are following.

I've been dealing with an irritation on my penis for about a year. I havent found a treatment that worked and saw a few doctors. there is a constant irritated feeling near the opening of my penis and the frenulum which bothers me quite a lot. When erect it looks like a whole bunch of small veins in the area and the redness looks to be coming not from the top layer of skin. Any ideas of how to help with the pain and irritation?

      would that be possible if I was circumcised a long time ago and this only started around a year ago? I didnt have any problems or issues previously.

    For the level of pain and irritation you are experiencing and the chronology it would be best if you saw a Urologist, or a Dermatologist who regularly treats genital skin issues

    You can generally benefit penile skin by not exposing it to soap and all forms of body wash such as shower gel - simply wash with water and ensure it is fully dried after washing or showering
