Hi, I've been having eczema problems for a while now and 2 weeks ago the right side of my penis head started to itch became sore red and starting forming a little scab. I waited 2 weeks being very careful about washing it and such but it's still here. Now I'm starting to wonder if it's just eczema. 2 questions

1) Is it possible it's eczema? I've never had it there before

2) Can I try putting my eczema steroid creme on it to see if it works? I just want to make sure it's safe to put on the penis head.

Thanks for your help

You should see a doctor before you do anything and ask their opinion. Or try a free clinic. It might be eczema or psoriasis. Or god for bid an STD. Depends on what it looks like and has it spread from one part of your body to the next. If it was kinda red with yellow or white loose skin (scalely) on top it's probably psoriasis. Sometimes itches. I had it. It starts like a spot (pin head size) like scab or ruff skin then gets bigger. Usually speads if you scratch at it. (Speads to the next thing you scratch with your hand or the spot could just get bigger). If after the doctor says its psoriasis, go to Wal-mart and get the over the counter Psoriasin Gel (topical gel). It worked for me and now it's completely gone. But please read all directions and warnings fully. You may not be able to use it on your man-hood. Please go to a doctor first before you do anything. You don't want to try and treat the wrong thing.
