Itchy / Dry skin and reddness around penis

---

Its been for about a yer now that I have had this, its only a couple inches long but it always itches..And around the area to the left of my penis. I have had this beofre I even had sex. Anything I can do, or any ideas of what it is??Sometime I itch it so much it bleeds and scabs up a bit, thanks everyone

You use lube when you jack or have sexy...sounds like saliva syndrome...happened to me once when I was 13...did bleed but definitely got really dry and chaffed

NO i dont use any lube for jacking or or when I have sex...how do I get rid of it?

Put vaseline on it and dont mess with it for a couple of days. It should go away. As far as not using lube for sex...thats fine if she gets wet enough, but as far as jacking...never use just saliva...it dehydrates your skin and cause what you have now.

never use just saliva...it dehydrates your skin and cause what you have nowThat is completely ridiculous.

Dude Steve...Saliva is almost like water...it can dehydrate your skin so quit talking to me as though I haven't a clue. Trust me on this one man....dont use just saliva.

Cluelessboy hasn't given us much detail about his problem, so it's hard to say what's going on. He didn't say anything about using saliva. It could be an allergy, it could be eczema, it could be psoriasis, it could be something else...who knows?I've used saliva, my friends have used saliva, I've saliva-ed all over women, I've been saliva-ed, and I've never seen or heard of a reaction like what you described. And he's not even talking about the penis itself.

Its on the left side of my penis, not on the shaft but on my flat skin to the left of the sack....it gets dry and flakes off sometimes and always itches, I had this before I even started havin sex...

I never use any lube or saliva to masterbate :confused:

It could be any of the things I mentioned, or none of them. It's hard to say without having it looked at by a dermatologist. There's a good chance that a non-specialist might not be able to figure it out.

I think Steve pretty much listed the most likely possibilities. Several of them (since it has been this long) will probably need professional help (ie Dr, Dermitologist) to resolve. I agree with the suggestion of visiting a Dr.

What should I try till than?,,, hand cream?

I would suggest some hydrocortison (sp?) cream. Over the counter. It normally relieves itching, it is generally recommended for most of the items mentioned. Don't think it could hurt (unless you know your allergic to it) and should help with the itching.

Yea man lube the area down and be sure to rub it in good...unless if a skin disfuction like psorasis or something liek tha....Im guess it should go away in a couple of days as long as you keep applying the lotion. Oh and dont use the typical type like Jergens or anythign thats scented, like longlines8 said use hydrocortison.
