On the frenulum of my penis I get tears after any sort of masturbation or friction. I am circumcised but it bleeds a very little bit. It usually heals within one or two days but I am a guy and don’t want to wait for it to heal to do stuff and when I finally do it again it tears again. Sometimes it is dried and starts to be flaky and sometimes it is moist and I can use my fingers to rub the upper level of skin off. Lately It rips just from an erection. I don’t even have to use the erection.
SYMPTOMS:
• Tearing and ripping cuts in my frenulum
• Scarring
• Flaking skin
• Moist, soft, soggy skin, clammy
• Light bleeding
• Looks like road rash but not infected
• No pain
• Swelling in certain areas, raised like poison ivy looking bumps
COMMON EXPLAINATIONS:
• FRENULUM BREVE: I am circumcised already and I am 29 and this problem has only been going on for 4 months.
• STDs: I have been tested before and after my current relationship and came out clean.
• FORE SKIN: I am circumcised.
• YEAST INFECTION: It is possible that my girlfriend did have a yeast infection and passed it on.
• FRICTION: It tears a little occasionally during sex but I have not had sex in months since I am in Iraq. I do masturbate but when it is bad I stop and when it is very minor I try not to even touch the spot. But no matter how light my touch is, it still creates cuts.
• BACTERIA: Unknown.
• JOCK ITCH: I don’t have any of the symptoms of jock itch except the skin becomes soft and moist occasionally.
• ROUGH SEX: I am not having sex right now.
• PROMISCUOUS BEHAVIOR: I have been in a faithful relationship for 9 months. She has also been faithful and the issue got worse after we separated. Before that it was over a year since my last sexual experience.
• SIGNIFICANT OTHERS POSSIBLE SEXUAL DISEASES: My girlfriend has only been with one other man, only once before me. There is a chance he could have been infected, but she shows no signs of any sort of disease and she would have had it before me.
• FINGER NAIL TEARS: I am careful not to use nails or dig in.
• SKIN OVER THE HEAD OF PENIS: This does happen sometimes like when I sit but not often or long enough to cause this effect.
• ENVIROMENTAL: My work place uses Port – 0 – john toilets and I know they have a ton of bacteria in them and sometimes my penis rubs the edge of the seat. The area mostly infected is the area that touches the front of the toilet seat.
• BALANOPOSTHITIS:
• MONILIASIS:
• PHIMOSIS:
