Hardening Skin On Penis, No Itching, Irritation When Scratched. Spreading Lesion. Help
40 yo male otherwise healthy male. I have skin that is hardening in a quarter size spot on me penis. It doesn't itch. It only becomes irritated when I try to scratch and "peel" the flaking skin off. The skin on my glans feels very rough. Almost like plastic. The dry skin extends down the corona to the penile shaft. It seems to have been spreading in the last month.
Hi, It seems that you might be having collection of smegma under fore skin of glans giving this problem. Clean the smegma by averting your fore skin with plain water. Make a habit of cleaning this part daily while taking bath. There is possibility of having some fungal infection on shaft of penis as dryness and roughness is spreading from corona to shaft. apply anti-fungal cream on the part. Ok and take care.
