Eczema on my penis?

Several years ago, I was receiving oral sex and the woman bit through the head of my penis.  A small scar healed quickly, but red bumps appeared on my shaft.  Over the the following six months, I had blood tests that confirmed it was not an std.  I was prescribed Mometasome cream - which treated the scars.  However, they return quickly after sex.  Ideas?

Hello,
From the symptoms it can be dermatitis, chafing, eczema or contact dermatitis. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. Also wear cotton undergarments. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
