How to treat a dry spot and swelling on my penis?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 18 years old. I swim five days a week for at least one to two hours per day, and I noticed my penis had a dry spot. This has been going on for at least a month, and it slightly itches. Sometimes, it hurts and is slightly swollen.
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
I have noted your concern, and I have reviewed the images (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). It is a dermatitis or eczematous condition of the skin of the glans. I suggest you apply a topical steroid such as Cortisone cream twice daily for a few days. In addition, I suggest taking tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching.
I hope this helps.
Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
