Specializes in Dermatology

PENIS PROBLEMS: HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON? IT COULD BE IRRITATION FROM SEXUAL STIMULATION, FROM ANY IRRITATION CAUSED BY MASTURBATION, FROM CONDOMS, FROM TOO TIGHT PANTS, ETC. IN ANY CASE, DO SEE YOUR GENERAL DOCTOR OR A DERMATOLOGIST OR A UROLOGIST. BEST LUCK . . .
