Dry skin, redness on penis head
Hello -
Recently, I noticed that there were two dry skin patches on my penis head. I actually used basic hand lotion on the penis head (and this time just for the dry skin) and it seemed to take care of the dry skin. After a few days though, it came back.
When it flaked off, I noticed the skin underneath was redder than surrounding skin. It almost looked like mild scarring, only not as severe (see attached picture).
The area doesn't hurt. I actually only notice it when the dry patches come back. I have had unprotected sex about 8 weeks ago. My question is - is this an STD? What is the first step I should do to get this checked out - go to a dermotologist or an STD clinic?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Doctor doesn't help. I've been to a dertamalogist and an urologist, they both pretend like it's not there. WTF!!!!!
I've had this for 13 years, i'm tired of this ****!!!

i have had a dry skin patch on the top of my penis head. It originally turned red, then looked like a form of wart, then it dried off and flaked.
I have been tested for all STD's twice in 3 months. It comes back
but more like dried flaky skin. Is this some type of fungal problem?
all STD tests are neg.
