Is It Safe To Use 1% Hydrocortisone On Glans Penis?

Posted on Fri, 26 Jun 2015

Question: hi, is it safe to use 1% hydocortisone cream on my penis glans? ive been experiencing a persistent 'rough' feeling for a few weeks after being prescribed doxycycline for a UTI. Gon and Cla std scan came back negative but did show positive for slightly elevated white blood cells. Prescribed Amoxcycline for 1 dose, then Doxycycline for 1 week. Main UTi symptoms have gone but 'rough' feeling has persisted on and off. My doctor suggested it could be residual symptoms and i should wait a few weeks. Had another urine scan last week which came back fine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
1% hydrocortisone is safe on glans penis.

But I feel it does not going to do anything in your case.
You are recovering from UTI and as your doctor has said you can wait for a few more days for complete recovery.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.Barani
