medical issues was started.
I notice small little rash like bumps on my penis after sex sometimes with girlfriend.What could be the issue.
I have just discovered 3 or 4 spots similar in appearance to freckles on the head of my penis. They range in diameter from 1 mm to 3mm, and are painless. I do not believe that they were there yesterday. I had intercourse with my wife some 6 hours before discovery. Is anyone familiar with this phenomenon?
I have the same issue but has been ongoing for much, much longer. I sought out medical help and was told it was a yeast infection. I also am marred, 14 year and no other partners. A year ago I went to a dermatologist and was given a cream with a steroid and hydrcoro...This worked the best and seemed to clear it up, however when all appeared clear the issue came back.
I returned to the derm and was then thought to be an allergy to latex, so we ran the allergy patch tests, all negative, given an rx for the same cream, clears up, stop using the cream and it comes back again.
After giving it some serious thought as to what was going on when it happened I recall that when this first appeared I had come down with epiditmitas (sp?) and of course being in the Navy at the time took them forever to decide that it was that and not a different more serious problem.
I still use the cream, but the issue is still present. Now what?
I think you may have eczema of the penis. This looks and feels like dry skin, but doesn't go away when moisturized. Friction, sexual or otherwise, aggravates but doesn't cause it. I advise you to try some over-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone twice a day and visit a dermatologist for definitive diagnosis and other therapy, if needed.
Best.
