About 8 years ago I noticed some small raised curcular rashes/marks on my penis. If touched, they feel slightly raised and had a crater/circular like appearance where a tiny amount of skin on the inside has come away.
I have never been cured of this but at times the redness and marks have reduced and may change shape, flatten out or move to other areas of the penis so they are not always in the same place but some could remain in the same place for weeks or motnsh while others lighten or flatten out and reduce in visibility. If the penis is retracted from foreskin and left out in the air for say 1-2 minutes the skin begins to dry and the redness and raised circular rashes appear more red and look quite shiny.
This first appeared when with a long term girlfriend so knew it was not an STI but still had STI checks which came back negative for any. Gum clinic did not know what it could be and gave me creams which never worked. I uploaded pictures approx 3 years ago for an online GP website and they assessed it to be balanitis but were not 100% sure..
My doctor first thought possible psoriasis or eczema but I have never had anything in my opinion that truely resembles psoriasis in terms of scales on penis but the penis does dry out a bit when retracted. I have no trouble pulling the foreskin back and the penis rarely iches. Once in a blue moon say maybe every 6-12 months I get a funny tingling and itchy penis which might last a short while and when I pull the foreskin back it seems like small circular layers of skin have been pulled away in places from the surface of the penis head leaving the circular marks mentioned above, and it is these that in turn over time look more red and raised and become like what they are in the pictures... Normally the circular marks occur mainly on the head and around/under the rim but have never gone further down the shaft of penis.
When I've gone to a gp or clinic and pulled the penis back, on occasions they say they can see nothing wrong and just a few red raised areas. This is because the penis is not even half errect and has only just been pulled back so they rarely are able to diagnose the issue. The pictures show my penis not long after interecourse without a condom so maybe this has aggrevated the penis head more but it doesn't look that different to normal. Please remember that what is in the picture is not how it has looked for 8 years. The appearance varies every few weeks/months but this is the worst I've seen it for a while.
This is all very strange and I just want this cured and at least know what I'm trying to combat. Any help greatly appreciated.
