Skin break and swelling under the penis head.
by kobikobi, May 22, 2004 12:00AM
I feel a soreness and I also have a skin break in the area right under the head of my penis.It started after having vigorous sex with my partner in which she was not as well self-lubricated at the end of our marathon sex session as she was at the beginning.
A few days later we had another vigorous sex session,this time it was uncomfortable for me(But very bearable) Now,Im extremely tender in the same area.Theres swelling around the skin under the penis head,breaks in the skin and a white discharge surronding the skin breaks and its become extremely sensative.It doesn't hurt when i urinate or at any other time during the day,just when I touch it.Ive had skin breaks before in the same area over the months when im very active but goes away after a few days after I rest the Love tool,thats not the case now.The white discharge is a new occurrence,never noticed it before.We've had sex everyday for about a month and it hasnt been a problem till now.What can I do?

I think the best thing you can do is take a break for a while. You say that irritation usually goes away after a rest and that isn't happening, and then you say that you've had sex every day for a month. In any case, I think you need to take a somewhat longer break, and just apply an antibiotic like bacitracin. I advise as well that you set up an appointment with a dermatologist or urologist in a couple of weeks, so you can get the skin checked in case the skin doesn't heal completely. However, I think the discharge is just from irritation and will resolve on its own. Then when you resume sex, lubricate more and perhaps keep the sex sessions a bit shorter.
Take care.
