Hello doctor,
I am 18 years old. I swim five days a week for at least one to two hours per day and 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.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have noted your concern and I have viewed the images. It is 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.
Regards.
