been going through irritation for to long

by irishkid, Nov 06, 2009 05:06PM
Hello,
I am a sexually active male that has had a rash for almost 3 months now. I went to the doctors immediately after i realized i had it i believe i got it from a unhygenic day at the beach with contaminated water. Long story short went swimming, then work, then sex, then forgot to shower till next morning. I am VERY hygenic but this day i just wasnt. The next day i noticed severe redness on the head of my penis (I am not circumsized) and washed it immediately, later that day i noticed redness was gone, awesome but not really. Since then i have been on hydrocortizone cream, antifungal creams like canesten, took the Pill for fungul infections, and the redness is still there it hasnt gone away at all its been toned down due to the hydrocortizone but yu can still see it (pink rather than red). I have been checked by 4 different doctors and all of them have said it is NOT herpes, i got tested in summer about 2 weeks before this began and it came back negative. The redness is predominately under the foreskin and on the forskin tip like when unretacted it is red all round the tip, aswell as when retracted a few areas which would be under the foreskin, and lastly the tip of the urethra is red. I have yet to develop a lump at all in these 3 months, but i dont know if it would be the hydrocortizone cream stopping me from developing them.

Im concerned that it is Balanitis of some kind, because if it was herpes it would have gone away by now for atleast a little bit. Please someone give me a tip, cause when i asked the doctor and showed them and brought up balanitis they said it couldnt be but then again the rashes were pink cause of only an hour before going i wiped off the hydrocortizone cream.

Thanks a ton

Herpes would not hang around for 3 months it would have come and gone in that time,ask your Doctor to refer you to a Urologist for further evaluation of your symptoms,one day without showering would not cause this you may be allergic to something or have something else going on down there that possibly a Urologist could sort out for you ......

Good Luck

thanks daisy yea im highly considering going to a urologist this upcoming week. only reason why i think happened from the beach because i found out the week after that the water was contaminated. I am just hoping it is nothing serious and just a reaction or something or maybe i gotta get circumsized, im not really worry about anything aslong as it isnt life threatening.
