I've had this scab come and go and the last 3 days. I've noticed my penis dry before, and also small cuts after full erection. It only itches slightly around the scabbing area. Yesterday it peeled off, but dried up again. No pain, no fever, I just get dizzy and nauseous after stressing about it. that only last like 2 minutes. Yesterday I decided to stay calm and the only thing that bothered me was stress. I've shaved back in September. I completely shave all around and even the forskin. I looked that up and I realized I shaved the wrong way. I've had pimples come and go for the past 3 months. The stress is what's killing me right now.

Hello,
Thank you for the detailed information on the questions above.
Is there a specific reason you are anxious about? Are you worried that the lesions might something serious? What specifically worries you? Can you describe the pimples to me? How many do you get and do you have them at the moment? Do they itch or hurt? How long do they last when they come out? Do you think you are at risk for sexually transmitted disease (unprotected intercourse)?
The dry scales are generally a sign of a fungal infection or local irritation (kind of eczema). You may try to use local betamethasone twice a day (thin layer) and over it apply miconazole cream (twice a day) for 7-10 days. You will need to combine both, please do not use betamethasone cream without the antifungal because it might make the fungal infection worse.
Meanwhile make sure you use cotton underwear and make sure you avoid any contact locally with any chemical, even soaps.
If you notice no improvement in 4-5 days or you notice any worsening it is advisable to see your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
