Penis Rash
by Scratchy, May 23, 2001 12:00AM
I was wondering what could cause my penis rash (looks more like an allergic reaction). Each time I have sexual intercourse with my girlfriend I notice small "pimples" on my penis head. I have been tested - for STD, and she has as well. We do not use condoms, and I do notice the apparition of these “scratchy-pimples” a day or so after the intercourse; could her sexual secretions be responsible? They usually go away within a matter of a few days without treatment. I am not circumcised (dunno if that helps!).
I’m also currently taking SSRI (Celexa) and noticed tremendous decrease in sexual interest. I was wondering if anything could prevent this.

The rash you describe sounds like minor irritation, rather than any STD. I would ignore them.
As for Celexa, I have no experience with the use of that drug. You might want to assk the doctor who prescribed it whether these side-effects are expected or preventable.
