Urologist: I recommend consulting a urologist. It is likely that there is penile skin pathology of some kind in view of those recurrent signs.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: To make an accurate diagnosis you should see a skin doctor, but this sounds like an allergic reaction, either to something you are taking by mouth, or a contact dermatitis.  If you have recently changed your shampoo, lotions, perfume, other, bring this info along with your visit to dermatologist.  Hope the itching stops.

seem to heal quickly, you need to see your

Question 6

Possible reasons.: I am not sure. Do you keep repicking the same areas? Do you have  underlying milia (and not acne)?  Do you have a condition like diabetes that could lenghten healing time?

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Nonhealing Sore: The typical warning symptom for this type of skin cancer is a sore that will not heal and frequently bleeds. Yet, it can take on other forms, like:
flat, scaly patch
oozing, crusty sore, 
depression centered bump, 
scar looking spot without previous injury
pearly white, waxy bump with tiny blood vessels.

Question 8

i have a previously diagnosed cyst on my head.  recently scabs have developed around it and i'm not sure why.  is this cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It is likely a sebaceous or epidermal inclusion cyst. Such cysts can rupture into the tissue or to the outside. It the cyst gets infected it could lead to complications. Have you considered getting it removed. It could probably be removed under local anesthesia.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Accepted Answer

No: Sounds like there might be two separate things going on.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Vaseline: Apply vaseline or aqua phot to the scale apps twice a day until they have healed. You can also apply a warm wet washcloth to your face to help soften up the scabs and help them full of more quickly. You need to find another outlet for your stress such as buying able to squeeze or worry beads.
