Dry chapped/cracked skin on dick?

---

In the past few months, ive noticed the skin on the underside of my dick has been drying out pretty bad, and feels a little rough, as if the skin is tightening up? so i kept lotion on it for a few weeks, seemed to all clear up. so i quit doing the lotion thing..then maybe a month or so, me and the lady was foolin around, and she likes to jerk me off, well she was playin with it and all, and all of a sudden i felt this ripping kind of pain, so i looked at it, nothing visually to see.. but when you rub it, it feels like its rubbed raw in this very small area, ive used a few diff products on it, 1 thing seems to clear it up, or atleast start to clear it up, but as soon as i get an erection, it tears it back open.. I got tested a few months back- std's and all that test, came back clean.and i have been with no one else, so im 100% this is no disease or anything, just raw/chapped skin..Any help or advice?

Probably a fungal infection.

There appears to be no discoloration, no nothing really. just a little raw feeling spot.

any other ideas?

Fungal infections don't necessarily (or usually) have any discolouration, and would seem the most likely reason. It won't hurt to try some antifungal cream (available at any pharmacy, or perhaps already in the medicine cupboard) and see if it helps. (If it does, keep using it until at least a week, preferably two, after all the roughness has gone, to make sure it doesn't come back.)

I started that this morning, so maybe it will work.

Really what this reminds me of, is like when you get chapped lips, then you sneeze or something and it opens it, making it feel raw and what not. Lord i hope this goes away, its not really painful, its just an irritating pain ya know

yeah, i agree with ineligible, it sounds like a fungal infection. athletes foot is like that, and i think theres a type that affects that area, ive seen it on the back of the medicine bottles/tubes, jock itch i think? anyway that may not be it, but it does sound like fungi. i know that happens with my toes, because i wear my shoes almost all day, with plastic ankle braces, blah blah, anyway, that should clear it up?

I would go see a doctor if i had some kind of insurance, but i dont. so i'd be paying out the ass for that little visit, and they would probly tell me to do what im doing now anyway..Since this morning i have been applying " Tolnaftate" antifungal cream to the area,so well see what it does in the coming days

If you are not circumcised, could it be a tear of the frenulum?

A tear wouldn't be dry and cracked

Dry, cracked skin..Sounds like it could be a yeast infection, http://www.yeastinfectionadvisor.com/maleyeastinfection.html check that site out, it may help.
