A member asked:

Hi doc! i have this round thing on the head of my penis which does not itch but sheds skin. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

TOO LITTLE INFO: A doc would need to know your age and whether or not you are circumcised. The possible diagnoses include: psorasis seborrhea keratosis cancer of the penis (only if you are NOT circumcised) any of the common skin conditions like eczema
