Red and Burning

[rjordan820]

Hi. My penis head and bottom of the scrotum have a burning/warm sensation. It started 7 weeks ago. It has been semi constant, but varied in intensity from very hot to no sensation over the 7 weeks. It is a kind of fire red, but its faint. It does not have boundaries. No other symptoms (no lesions, blisters, discharge, no pain urinating, etc).  Also took a 30 day dose of doxyciclone for a scalp condidion in october. Could this be related? I have been off the meds for a month now. Burns more than ever. I have had a couple sexual encounters in october.

Any ideas? I'm sure I will be told to just go see a doctor which I plan to do tomorrow. I am just trying to gain peace of mind. I am hoping someone can rule out something like an std?

Hello,
First of all fungal infection due to continuous use of antibiotics is one possibility. Apart from that, eczema, dermatitis skin and sexually transmitted diseases also need to be ruled out. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist and get a STD panel test done to confirm the diagnosis.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

sounds like red scrotum syndrome just cured my self of this horrible desease. I found out it was candida and through trail and error i cured my self. First thing you need to do is look up the candida diet online and follow it to the letter and no alcohol. You need to purchase some supplements they are as followed (Three lac) this is the most important, this can be found online, start at 2 packets a day and build upto 6 packets a day.  These worked the best for me. candida clear, black walnut, oregeno oil, caprilic acid, garlic, pau d Arco, ginger root, yeast fighters, olive leaf extract,cats claw and Oregon grape, these supplemnts can be found on iherb.com for half the price. while your taking these supplemnts your doctor can subscribe elledel and atopicliar to help with the symptoms. after a week you should see a differrence, depending on the severity it can take upto 6 months to cure but if you follow these steps you will be cured. You may feel sick at first this just means its working and the candida is dieing, Its call die off. I hope this helps!
