My boyfriend gets dry round patches on his penis ever so often? Does he have a STD? If not what is it? Thanks

Hi brillanteyes, welcome to Sexual Health Board!

None of us are doctors here and even if we were a diagnosis couldn't be made over the internet so we can’t really say what his problem might be. However, does his condition appear before sex or afterward and are the places red and do they itch? Do you use spermicide during sex? If so his condition might be an allergic reaction to the spermicide? If his problem is a reoccurring one he may have a form of dermatitis. See: http://www.ivillagehealth.com/library/onemed/content/0,,241012_245597,00.html#Signs It would be a good idea for him to see his doctor to be checked out, just to make sure that it's nothing serious or infectious. Let us know what his doctor says, ok?

Good luck,
