Very worried about dry skin on penis. Does it look like something serious?

Posted , 7 users are following.

The dry areas do not hurt or feel irritated. I live in a very dry area and I masturbate dry as well about 1-2 times a day on average but I'm still scared about the dry areas and how they look. Can anyone help me? image

      Thank you. What worries me is that it feels rough and dry and was thrown off by the small bumps.

    So I took a shower and they look like whiteheads/possible pimples. Does this picture look like any sort of STD to anybody? I am very stressed about it.

    From your photo, it seems you are circumcised.

    If so, dryness is to be expected.

    I'm not a doctor, but I don't see anything abnormal.

      I am circumcised. It is good that it doesn't look bad. Should I be worried about seeing a few white spots? I don't know if I am just overthinking this. The dry area with white spots is also where a lot of rubbing happens when I masturbate.

      Thank you for your insight! Do you or anyone else have any idea about the small bumps right below the head? After masturbating the skin around it will be red and they will have a whiteish complexion. I am not sure if it is just dry/irritated/rough skin from dry masturbation or something more serious. I am trying to upload better pictures but they are under review right now.

    Any help regarding the last 2 photos? Could it be a callus?

      bro I have the exact same thing. imma go to the doctors soon, so I will tell you what I know when I do. I have medium brown skin so it looks worse on me. but it still isn't noticeable.

      also most cut guys have that little "ring" to some extent.
