What Causes Itching Under The Foreskin Of The Penis?
Hi, I have had an issue for the last 5 days where the end of my forskin is dry and itchy. I use lubrication when masturbating, and have not changed what I use. I stopped using it for a few days, and the problem seemed to improve. I then used it again last night and was incredibly uncomfortable for the rest of the night. I will obviously stop using this, but don t understand how this could suddenly start? please help.
