What it looks like you have is a skin condition on the lower layers of the skin of the head / glans of your penis. Have you had this checked by a Medical Professional at all? How long has this been like this?
You must not respond to the itch by scratching it, as this will only irritate it further. My suspicion is that you have a skin condition developing. So, do you live in a country where you can access a Dermatologist, if that should become necessary in the future?
I am also going to post some general information for Men like yourself who have these kinds of condition on their penis. It is therefore not specifically aimed at you, but read through it carefully, and try to put as much in place as possible.
Answer the questions I have asked - if the problems worsen in the future, either update this discussion thread, or better still, begin a new forum thread and describe in detail what you have going 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 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.
