About 3 or 4 days ago i woke up to find that the head and inside of the foreskin of my penis werevery sore and there was a lot of what appeared to be dead skin over it that had flaked off. I wiped it all off and cleaned the head up. I could still rub skin off so i wiped off all that i could. For the last few mornings when i wake up there has been a bit of this white skin which I have cleaned off. There was only a little bit this morning but my foreskin is pretty sore and red now. Is it natural for this to happen and will the skin return to normal? What would have caused this?
Could be a couple of things. Have you changed soaps recently? How about lubrication for masturbation? Any sexual encounters just prior to this happening? I'd say its a reaction to something and will probably get better in a few days. You might try using a topical ointment like neosporin to see if that would help. I'd be seeing a doc if things don't improve in a week. Good luck and let us know how this turns out!
In my opinion, most cases of itchy, red, sore znd peeling foreskins/glans are caused by yeast infections. Using a topical cream for yeast infections will clear up the proplem within a day. Trust me, it works quickly.
I totally agree with the yeast infection thing. My boyfriend had the same problem and I recomended a cream for hime to use. I was afraid he would pass it on to me and I've never had one before (knock on wood). So check out the pharmacy for yeast infection creams...what have you got to lose?
Thanks for the replys. I havent had sex recently or changed soap and I dont usualy use lube for masturbation. Ill see how it is on monday and if it hasnt improved ill have a look for some cream. In the meaning, should I clean it and wipe off any skin even though it is sore or leave it alone?
