What Causes Penile Scabs With Burning Sensation And Itching?
Yellow scabs on head of penis. Itches and burns. Penis is covered by foreskin. 67 years old. Appeared while taking prednisone for asthma. Have not had sex since before Thanksgiving. Symptoms occurred about three weeks into asthma treatment. Blood sugar went high and frequent urination. Sugar is under control and I am backing off prednisone.
