Suggest Treatment For Dry Spots On The Side Of Penis

My boyfriend has this dry spot on his penis, it doesn t itch or hurt and it s not red, it just looks like a patch of dry skin, could this be caused from friction burn? He said he jacked off for like 10 minutes the other day and after his penis was sore and kinda burned but then was fine within the hour.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.'

Yes such skin patches are due to friction rub, first they are friction burns and then they harden up to form a dry patch , this will get back to normal with time as the top most layer of the skin sloughs off. I would suggest you guys not to panic to make it get back to normal he can use any emollient this will soften then skin make it heal quick and will slough off quick.

I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
Regards.
