Sore Penis

Sore Penis

I regularly get a rash on the head of my penis, I have been to a std clinic twice and they tell me it is normal but by the time i get there the rash has gone down.
It is usualy after fairly vigorous sex with my girlfriend and my penis becomes  red and sore. It is also more sensitive and has a velvity look apart from the red spotts on the glans (glands).
It never seens to quite go away and is very distressing, I notice one or two other people have asked the Doctor but to no avail. It seems that It would be better having a known disease like syphilis which at least could be cured

Hi,

This could be balanitis. Balanitis is inflammation of the glans (glands) penis. When the foreskin (or prepuce) is also affected, it is termed balanoposthitis.

Inflammation has many possible causes, including irritation by environmental substances, physical trauma, and infection by a wide variety of pathogens, including bacteria, virus, or fungus—each of which require a particular treatment.

Retract the foreskin daily and soak in warm water to clean penis and foreskin. Apply bacitracin (not Neosporin) for pediatric patients if bacterial infection is suspected.
Apply topical clotrimazole for adult men with probable candidal balanitis.

If the symptoms persist, you would need to consult your doctor.

Let us know if you need any other information.

Regards.
