Foreskin: Dry?

---

Okay, so lately I've been noticing that the tip of my foreskin has been rough and sort of sore (and slightly whiter than it should be). Today it has almost cracked in some places. It's a gross comparison, but it's kind of like a chapped lip. I was wondering if maybe the skin was just drying out?-=-AstroBoy-=-

It could be a fungal infection.

shit, that doesn't sound good. Any makeshift way to get rid of it if it is? Or should I go get it checked out by a doctor?

http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=005GSM:S that kinda sounds like what I have... but I don't think the "split" in mine is that big. Though it does kind of burn like a papercut. ((I'm really not wanting to go to a doctor to get this one checked up ))

If it's fungal, you can treat it with any cream for tinea - you can get it from a pharmacy without a prescription, so you might try that first for a week or two.

If that doesn't work, a steroid cream would probably be the next thing to try, and I think that does need a prescription.

I have a feeling its excessive and agressive masterbation. I had the exact same thing and wondered what it was untill I realised I was pretty much stroking too hard and often.

So try not strokin for a couple days see if any progress comes. Oh btw good f'ing luck with not stroking a couple days lol, but if it honestly hurts it's better to be safe then sorry.
