Questions in The Urology Forum are being answered by doctors from Henry Ford Health System , consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. As I examined closer, they seemed to be capillary breaks in places. Then with the slightest amount of sexual activity, friction, both the glans and shaft became subject to larger capillary breaks and would appear as bruises, with soreness in the more exposed edge of the glans for a few days. Also, the 'front' of the glans skin looks burned, taking on the look of standard burn wrinkles, albeit smaller in nature. In case you are wondering, I've been strictly monogamous for 22 years.
Symptoms occur in either circumstance.
I'm puzzled by these symptoms. Dear Steve C., Genital skin lesions have multiple causes. As you alluded to, sexually transmitted diseases are possible causes. Infections from other causes can also be associated with skin lesions. Cancers of the genital skin are rare, but are possible.
