Hi, hoping you can help me. I?ve been struggling with this problem for over a year. I have been experiencing penis and foreskin pain, redness, dryness and soreness. The doctor gave me an antifungal treatment to try which did not help. I was tested by a gp for a fungal infection which came back negative. I was then diagnosed with genital eczema. Moisturising helps some of the skin but not all of it. The pain & visual inflammation varies from the head of the penis to the inner and outer foreskin. I have been able to get the skin to look relatively healthy (confirmed recently by a doctor) but I still have pain and things are still dry. I?m wondering whether i?ve caused this myself. To wash i?ve been soaking myself in a jar of water. Throughout the year i?ve been using a wide variety of treatments to counteract & manage my symptoms, such as: manuka honey, colloid oat soaks, coconut oil, vaseline, emollient (e45, cetraben), baby oil, zinc oxide cream etc. I?ve stopped using everything. I read about the foreskin and understood it?s a mucus membrane with natural oils. I?ve stopped all treatment in an effort to allow the natural oils to come back. I haven?t washed my penis for 5 days now. Every morning I check to see the progress. Every morning it is the same. The skin looks reasonably healthy, but the foreskin is dry and tacky to the glans as it rolls down. I have no problems retracting my foreskin. The skin does?t feel moist, it feels dry. There is no odour. It?s as if it?s just been washed. This is my concern. After 5 days it?s as if i?ve just freshly washed. Dry and odourless. No natural oils. I am worried that I have disrupted my skin balance and removed so many of the natural oils. I am left with dryness that is causing pain. This does?t seem normal to me. Will the oils return? Is there something wrong with me? Thank you.
