My husband of 10 years has developed a dry white ring around his penis about 1/3 of the way down from the tip. It completely encircles the shaft, and becomes just a little bit flaky after he showers. At first we were concerned that maybe he was masturbating to often or that we were not using enough lubrication during intercourse, but he stopped masturbating for a few weeks and we used extra lubrication- It did not get better, or worse. It has been about 2 months and now, but now after intercourse it stings him pretty bad. We thought maybe yeast, but I was checked during a routine physical and have no infections. Also, it is nowhere near the head of his penis and it is smooth and flat not "yeasty" It looks tight, like it is strangling his penis. We have not seen a doctor but are seriously considering it. My husband is a slightly overweight 31 year old otherwise healthy white male. Has anyone out there experienced anything like this. I can’t find anything online remotely close.
One thoughtful answer brings up the topic of circumcision. He is circumcised, however when he is not erect, the head of his penis does retract, so at first glance you might think he was not. When he is partially erect the head of his penis begins to peak out, and when fully erect it almost seems there is not enough skin available to support the erection.

Q. How does coconut oil work against yeast infections?
A. Coconut oil has several unique properties that make it an excellent treatment for yeast infections.

Among the most potent natural yeast-fighting substances are lauric acid and caprylic acid, both derived from coconut oil.

All medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil kill yeast, viruses and bacteria.

Some of these substances are stronger against one type of organism and some work better against others, so when all these elements combine forces in this unique type of oil, they become a daunting weapon against dysbiosis.

When I began researching coconut oil, I noticed that many patients mentioned they were getting relief from a wide variety of symptoms, including fatigue, joint pain, irritability and recurrent bladder infections.

Of course, you’re aware that people suffering from candida infections often complain of precisely these symptoms.

Okay, so i’m 15 Male – Obviously – Virgin (: . Almost a year now I have been able to retract my foreskin over the head of my penis. I have suffered from thrush or yeast infections a few times , which has caused panic because It never seems to go away. The retracted foreskin is red and sore to touch most days – why is this? or is this thrush and why do i keep getting it ?

Masturbation is strange now that I can retract my foreskin and have my head showing. But I have another few problems.
1. The Head is painful to touch or rub . ( Not sure if this is sensitivity but it hurts so . ) – Like sting or shooting pain / sort of soz i find it hard to describe pains.
2. The foreskin when rubbed also hurts as its sore practically all the time.
These together make it not enjoyable and normally have to masturbate with my foreskin covering the head which is not bad but it annoying because beeing so young and curious and wanting to explore my own body.
3. Finally I swear i can see my entire head whe i pull back the foreskin but when i leave it it rolls up and covers like half the head again? It never stays retracted and the slightest touch or movement makes it cover my head again? This is also rather annoying can you please help me ! I’m left a little in the dark here because I have so many problems or atleast it feels that way.

Please and sorry i’m asking alot but can you not joke i’m looking for answers not arguments over the internet – So sensible answers please and thanks

thank you for your help…
