penis problems following manual ejac

[stoopiddog]

hi- my girlfriend and i have been in a 2 year relationship, im 23 she is 21. she is my third, and she has not had many partners either. a few weeks ago she manually ejaculated me and later that day i noticed i was "rubbed" raw on one small portion of the rim of the head, it soon went away in a matter of a few days. about a week ago she manually (hand) brought be to orgasm, from a different position. neither time she used lube of any kind. the latter time i experienced the raw skin on the thin central line (in line with the hole) on the underside of my penis with some redness, i didnt think much of this problem believing i knew the cause. a few days later i masturbated using a bottle of astroglide that has had very intermittent use over the course of a few years, i later noticed tiny pustulates (sp?)about the size of a pencil tip on one side of my penis, which i popped. over the course i have treated it with neosporin, cortizone cream, and believe it or not.... mouth wash for sterilization and i wash it well when i shower. there are no scabs, it doesnt itch, i have slight pain when it rubs when i walk, and there is slight soreness to the touch. what is wrong with me?

Hi,

Glad to know that the post was of help to you. It could be eczema, sweat dermatitis, allergic reactions or eczema.

You need to wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.

Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene .

Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.

For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone or desonide), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).

Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Moisturizing is one of the most important self-care treatments for sufferers of eczema. Keeping the affected area moistened can promote skin healing and relief of symptoms.

let me start by saying thank you.  thank you. i bought the clortrimazole today and am using it. i did some research on the condition and found that it almost always affects the head, mine is fine. i am circumsized, and i wash daily. im a clean person. the symptoms seem very similar, and one cause of the condition i have found is irritation by soap or spermicidal lubricant (the one i use is not spermicidal), which i believe would be my case. i definately think it is possible that it got into the rubbed-open raw skin and therefore irritated it. i will continue using this cream. are there any other possible conditions this could be?
thanks again

Hi,

This is a condition called balanitis.Balanitis is inflammation of the glans penis. Lack of aeration and irritation because of smegma and discharge surrounding the glans penis causes inflammation and edema.More common in uncircumcised males.

It  is usually caused by poor hygiene in uncircumcised men. The inflammation can be due to infection, harsh soaps, or failure to properly rinse soap off while bathing.
One common organism associated with balanitis is a yeast known as Candida albicans.  Balanitis may occur because of excessive growth of Candida, due to moisture and warmth under the foreskin.

It can be treated by applying Miconazole, an anti-fungal medication.Most cases of balanitis can be controlled with medicated creams and good hygiene.

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.
