What Causes Itching Sensation On Penis?
Question: 3 days ago my penis stared itching, and I put some anti-itch cream extra strength- CVS brand. It helps- but only so long, and then the itching starts again. It is really swelling under the head, and is not a smooth swelling, but lumpy. No problem urinating. Last sex was 1 month ago- unprotected oral from woman
Brief Answer:
List of possibilities mentioned sir
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Looking at the image you have attached the diagnosis cannot be accurately predicted as a physical examination and an ultrasound of the region will be required, but based on the information at hand an the clear image I think the possible conditions could be possible:
+Sclerosing lymphangitis: The beady or lumpy appearance could be due to that
+Peyronie's disease: Will require an ultrasound at the earliest
+Thrombophlebitis: Especially if vigorous sexual activity or masturbation or vigorous itching occurred prior to the appearance of the presentation
The itching will have to be due to some underlying condition like a fungal infection, please visit a doctor for a physical examination sir; I think this would be best for you.
Best wishes.
