Hello doctor,
I woke up with a small non-raised patch of dry irritated skin on my penis head. The area is a little sore and also the skin is dry and peeling. I am only sexually active with my partner for two years and she is clean. I have not been with anyone else.

Thank you doctor,

Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
At present, it is not looking like an STD. Herpetic erosion can mimic this but classically it starts with a fluid-filled vesicle. The differential diagnosis includes frictional dermatitis. I suggest using Mometasone Fusidic acid combination cream twice daily for seven days. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent.
