she said she thought the cracking of my skin on the head of my penis , is %26#039; normal %26#039; she couldnt explain whats caused it, but she told me there was no visable signs of psoriasis, dermatitis , or balantitis, or lichen sclerosis.
she said the itching i had was normal, and that everybody sweats down in the genital area.
she told me she wasnt sure if the cracks and tears in the skin will clear or whats caused them, but they might reduce in time, that i need to use simple emoliants.
she pointed out id had pictures taken of the area, a top consultant in london had looked at the pictures , who said there was no skin problem and that it was %26#039; normal %26#039;.
that id had urology test done which all came back clear.
i told dr yell though i was still unhappy about the cracks and tears covering the head of my penis and that i wanted another opinion.......she said ok a and that she was going to reccommend i see a %26#039; professor griffis %26#039; at a local hospital.
im really disappointed with this morings dermatology appointment because once again their telling me theres %26#039; no %26#039; skin conditiion and that the cracks and tearing of my skin on the head of my penis ---------( which is very prominent to look at ) ---------------- is normal for me.
the only happiness i got is that ill get another opinion from a professor..
whilst there this morning she also aggreed to let me have a swab done of my penis head..
normally the head of a male penis as a smooth baby skin appearence.
mine is all cracked, like little tears covering the head part.
im 30 years old now and ive felt really anxious about this problem......i feel very inadequete and inferior as a male.
i hope to god, i pray that the cracked skin will clear up in time.....the not knowing is really tormenting me.
i have my forskin.......the condition doesnt hurt...im very sensitive down there.......i can get erections ok...
i have a forskin, but the skin covering %26#039; the head %26#039; of my penis is still all cracked and teared.
and i mean the head of my penis not the forskin - and there not just wrinkles that smooth out when im erect , the skin is actually cracked and fissured
btw - the cracks and tears on the head of my penis dont itch at all, they just feel very sensitive.
also i was checked for diabetes a couple of months ago the tests were clear.
i felt very disappointed once again to be told im normal and that theres no skin condition, the only clarity i got is that she agreed to get me refered to a professor about this.
what do i do ?|||See a counselor to find out why you are obsessed with your penis. Normal penis heads do have cracks and fissures, not sure where you got the idea that a penis head should be smooth like baby skin. After all the tests and examinations, accept that you are quite normal and healthy and worry about something else. Any tiny tears or rips can easily be healed with petroleum jelly. |||if you are unhappy with the opinions dolled out by the current practitioner, get a second opinion from another doc.
good luck with it|||On your computer, type in: %26quot;Cracked Penis Skin%26quot;. A page will pop up with all kinds of websites with similar problems as yours. Scroll down to where it reads: %26quot;Cracked Skin %26amp; Redness On Penis Head%26quot; %26lt;%26lt; Medical Questions.. Click %26amp; read. There are several examples similar or identical to your problem. Check it out to see if there are any remedies that may help ease your mind. I know it must be really hard on you emotionally, having gone thru this for so long %26amp; only getting the run around by various doctors. Good Luck, my friend.|||That is not easy to answer. Even the dermatologist doesn%26#039;t know what it is which is why you felt dismissed.
Here are some guesses which you have probably thought of:
A fungal infection can be ruled out after the swab results come back.
Eczema?
Do you take supplements? How about a good mineral and vitamin supplement. A really good one from a reputable source. Our bodies need these vital nutrients to form healthy tissue, maybe you are deficient in something.
Essential fatty acids.
Antioxidants.
It%26#039;s good that you are getting a second opinion. It does not seem that it is balanitis. This is the male form of lichen sclerosus but it is rare in males. Itching is intense so it seems that the dermatologist is correct.
If no help try a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner.
|||Until you see the professor just use simple moisturisers as you want him to see it as it is.
People sweat around their testicles and groin area and sometimes get a fungal infection which is treatable with Canestan but you would use something like that in your groin area but not on the head of your penis.
Hope they get you sorted out soon.
Regards
Andy
