Does Oral Sex Cause Infection On The Foreskin?

Posted on Fri, 18 Aug 2017

Question: Hello, I have a minor irritation on my foreskin, I think after a couple of a couple of days of excessive masturbation. I have received oral sex about 5 days ago but if it were related to that I think the symptoms would take a bit longer to appear. Either way, I'm just using some homeopathic cream at the moment. It looks like the skin got wrinkled in the very small areas. If it was a bit swollen, the swelling and the color have gone back to normal, however the wrinkled area remains so I'm wondering if I'm dealing with a fungus. I go regularly to public swimming pools and gyms. I forgot to mention, there is NO pain or itching.
Thanks for letting me know!

Brief Answer:
Doesn't look like fungal infection, related to friction

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have gone through your complaints as well as reviewed the attached photograph.
This wrinkled skin and irritation seems to be related to friction associated with masturbation.
It doesn't look like a fungal infection.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily for 7-10 days.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
