How to get rid of an addiction to masturbation?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am 18 years old, male, 6.1 ft tall, and weigh 154 pounds. I have concerns about my sexual activities. I apologize if this sounds unusual, but I am struggling with porn addiction, and my frequent masturbation has led to changes in my penis head. The skin appears unusual, with white curves that are different from before. I am genuinely worried and would appreciate guidance on what I should do. If possible, I would like to share images of the affected area to better explain the issue.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern.

Thanks for reaching out with iCliniq.

I am sorry to hear about your medical condition. Please do not worry. Concerning the symptoms you have described, which involve curated lesions around the glans penis due to frequent masturbation with shampoo or Vaseline, it appears you may have developed a chemical dermatitis of the penile head. I recommend reducing the frequency of this behavior, or alternatively, involving your spouse in intimate activities if needed.

For optimal treatment of your condition, consider the following options:

1. Ointment 0.2 percent Tacrolimus once daily.

or

2. Ointment 0.05 percent Clobetasol once daily.

or

3. 0.2 percent Hydrocortisone cream twice daily.

If your symptoms persist, please schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
