    Ivan this problem is caused by the regular application of anything that is chemical based to your penis. I am going to post my general guide below on what to think about and do to start correcting this problem. This will likely take anywhere upwards of 3 months before you get any real difference on your skin. I say this because the results you have now are a result of an accumulation of the wrong things being regularly in place over a period of many years!

    The essential is to stop using ANY soap or shower gel, body wash on the head and foreskin of your penis - if you want to help your skin to recover you need to prevent these from getting on the surface of this area of your penis. Read through my guide and if you have any further questions then simply click Reply ... or, in 3 or 4 months time it would be interesting for you to update your Forum Thread here to let any readers know how you are getting on ....

    Penile Hygiene Regime to Combat Specific Problems

    .

    The best approach is not to use ANY SOAP on the Glans / Head of your penis - wash with water only EVERY time you have urinated, after sexual arousal, and ejaculation. If you are not circumcised, protect the Glans of your penis every time you take a shower by drawing the foreskin as far forward as you can, then wash everywhere else, thoroughly rinse off all the gels / shampoo and suchlike, then expose your glans wash it with the water only using the inside of your hand, then each time you have washed it you must make sure to 100% pat dry immediately afterwards with a clean towel.

    .

    After you have put this in place and you still have the situation going on you need to look at what else your penis is coming into contact with on a fairly regular basis.  The likely suspects are:-

    • any chemical compounds such as skin cream / lotions, baby oil, oil based lubes, chemicals inside condoms (e.g. easy-on and spermicides) you need to exclude these one by one to discover the culprit, the easiest approach is to exclude everything to start with, then once things are on the mend, introduce each individual item to discover what has caused this in the first place.
    • if non of these make any difference you need to look to things such as washing powder in which you wash your clothes, and underwear in, in particular.  The simple alternative to washing powder is Liquid Soap Flakes, most sizeable supermarkets stock this in their own brand names - and you use this in your washing machine instead of powders or ANY fabric conditioner type additives.

      If all this produces no resolution to what you have, or your condition dramatically worsens, seek medical advice from your regular Doctor - but please note, many do not fully understand the differences between the potential skin conditions you may potentially have.  Therefore, the better course of action may be to see a Dermatologist, or alternatively, go to a Specialist Sexual Health Service and ask to see the duty Urologist.

      Ivan, what you need to be is diligent about keeping as many of the recommendations that I make in my Penile Hygiene Protocol in place for as many months as possible. You may not get any really noticeable difference for at least 4 or 5 months. What you need to think of is the number of years that your penis has been exposed to all the chemical based stuff that I have talked about in my guide. So that is certainly going to need some concerted efforts to undo the harm that has led your penis skin to be in the condition it is now.

      So, in 6 or 7 months time look at either of the pictures above and see how it compares. What your skin could probably benefit from is the right kind of hydration: certainly ordinary skin creams and moisturisers are a major no-no! The essential is not applying anything that will have a further negative impact on the skin.

      What I may suggest is that in 3 or 4 weeks time you look for a good plant based moisturiser - find an almost pure version of Aloe Vera Gel, The Body Shop (I am presuming you are in the UK) do a 99% pure one. I think it is about £15 - but what you need to remember is that you do not need to apply very much, and every other day would be sufficient .......
