Red sore on my husbands tip of penis

[sunny4140]

Hello everyone,
I have 3 children the youngest just 2 months old, my husband is very shy about sex and his body. We have a great sex life I think. I am very cool and open about sex, I tell him if he's horny and Im sleeping, no problem, wake me up and I'll please him, anyway he wants. So this morning, I say Im getting in the shower wanna join me? He says yes but I have a sore on my penis, I look at it and its on the head on his penis, its about the size of half a dime, red and looks like it had been bleeding a little. I asked him what, why did he have that, his response was it had been rubbing on his boxers or because he masturbated earlier. But he is uncircumcised so how could it be from rubbing his boxers and how could it get that badly sore from one time masturbating? Wouldnt he have to have masturbated over and over again? Help me please, I need advice, Im losing my mind here.I wanna believe him that he didnt cheat on me but Im 7 yrs older than him and he is in school around a bunch of college girls all day. Please guys if u have given yourself some kind of sore like this from masturbating only once please let me know. What should I do people?

Hello

First, let's deal with the physiological issue. It's possible that your husband has either an irritation or infection. The only way for him to know for sure is to see a urologist for an exam. No one can diagnose him via the Internet.

Second, ask yourself: If this were MY penis, wouldn't I want to find out what's going on? I'm wondering why he's procrastinating.

Third, I'm wondering why you are worried about your husband being sexual with someone else. Do you have reason not to trust him? If so, you need to talk with him about your feelings. Or perhaps you have difficulty trusting someone you love? Either way, I'd suggest the two of you see a counselor ASAP to sort out your issues. Best of luck to you. Dr. J

I'm not a guy but I can tell you a little about uncircumsized men, I use to work for a group home with men had to bathe them and take care of them, anyways if uncurcumized and doesn't push the skin back to clean under the skin he can get a bacterial infection, also sweat can cause a sweat rash if he sweats and the skin is over the head. Does the sore have an odor to it? Not that I expected you to smell it, lol, ask him to touch it with his fingers and let you smell his fingers, if it has a odor to it, its a possibility it could be a yeast infection (men can get them) or infected sweat rash. If it has a odor to it try to get him to see his doctor so it can be treated. Its hard to tell if he is cheating on you, if was a std it would most likely be in more than one spot. Does he seem concerned about it?
