Further clarification on my "help" post. The random spots keep increasing. now they are all over the shaft of my penis. they are very small and circular. They almost like like a ringworm would look on the skin except smaller. They are also ashy looking in nature. Any suggestions would help while i await a visit to the dermatologist. thanks in advance everyone
Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be chafing skin or lichen planus. It does not look like any STD. Lichen planus is an inflammatory disease that affects the skin and the oral mucosa, and presents itself in the form of papules(flat spots) or rashes. Treatment is available only on prescription and consists mainly of steroids, retinoids, hydroquinone and phototherapy. I suggest you to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
