Hmm, rather an embarrasing one is this one, but (even tho it is ok now) a few weeks ago, i started getting a bit of irritation at the very tip of my foreskin. I thought nothing of it, until i was in the shower, went to pull my forskin back, for a bit of cleaning, as you do, and it fucking killed. Being daft, i just put some anticeptic cream on it. The next day the bit in question was seriously dry, and the skin was getting flaky. Still very stupidly, decided against a doctor, and put some vaseline on it a couple of times a day, to keep it moist, and within 2 more days it was fine. However during those days, i couldnt pull my foreskin back at all, and sex was definately out of the question.
Everything is alright now, but I worry incase it happens again. Has anyone got any ideas what it could be? Sorry if this was all a bit graphic

if it does it is easily treatable next time... if not I'd suggest a visit to your gp.
If you have had unprotected sex recently, you should go to your nearest GUM clinic for tests.

Sounds familiar, but still doesnt explain the really dry skin which was flaking off.... Thanks for your help anyways Suzie. If it comes up again, I'll go see the doc
