burning and redness after intercourse
by fg1, Nov 02, 2004 12:00AM
Recently after having sex with my wife i get a burning sensation on my penis that is bright red for about 4-5 days then turns into cracked dry skin for about a week or 2 later. I let it heal, we have sex again and the same thing happens.My wife has been to the doctor, he knows of no reason( or maybe has not taken the time to care). We have been together for 9 years this has been going on for about 3- 4 months now.I actually feel the burning sensation during intercourse towards the end.

I would consider being tested for any infection. Things like a UTI as well as gonorrhea and chlamydia can cause these symptoms. A simple urine test can evaluate for these infections. I would also evaluate the prostate via a digital rectal exam.
If infection has been ruled out, inflammation of the skin (dermatitis) can be considered and treated with a steroid cream.
Without looking at the lesion, it would be difficult to say, but I would have a dermatologist or urologist evaluate it.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
