Penis problems...should I see a dermatologist?

Things haven%26#039;t been the same down there since my case of balanitis. A few slighlty patchy spots (that arent noticeable) were left behind on the glans. Near the frenulum / underneath the foreskin are a series of white dots that my urologist thought might be just some inflammation or something. Now, today right before a shower I noticed an itch and saw a darkish spot on the ridge of my glans and some other small things that dont seem right. Its itchy down there and kind of burns. I am not sexually active.





Should I see a dermatologist? The urologists don%26#039;t seem to understand whats going on with the outside. I planned on having a circumcision but don%26#039;t think I should until I get this sorted out...





I should also add that I don%26#039;t think its anything like cancer, because the area that is darkish doesnt change that color until its exposed for a bit. So it%26#039;s not some lesion thats constantly there. The itch, burn, and need to urinate is though.





This is embarrassing.|||A urologist would probably have more of an idea than a dermatologist. Just go back and say that it%26#039;s not inflammation and to check again.





Dermatologists tend to deal more with skin in general than any one specific area. And while they might know what it is, it%26#039;s not gonna be anything your urologist wouldn%26#039;t know about. The early symptoms do seem more like inflammation than anything else, but doctors are more like umpires than anything else- they call them how they see them. They can%26#039;t diagnose something if there%26#039;s no symptoms to suggest it, and symptoms progress, so what may seem like one thing one week may turn into something else the next.





Just go back to your doctor and tell him it%26#039;s worse. No reason not to, I PROMISE you, they see things far more embarrassing than anything you could show them on a daily basis.|||Being uncircumcised can come with it%26#039;s problems, you could have the male equivalent to a yeast infection. Try extra hard to keep it dry in there and buy an over-the-counter cream for yeast infections.|||Well, you got nothing to be embarrassed about i%26#039;d consider going back to the Urologist and Dermatologist and maybe consider a Circumcision.
