Rashes On Penis With Itching. No Pain Or Discharge. Is It STD?

Brief Answer:
Do not worry it is normal in uncircumcised males

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome and thanks for posting your to XXXXXXX

I can understand your concern for off and on redness and the possibility of Sexually Transmitted Disease for the same in yourself.

According to your query you have red mark on your penis head occurring after masturbation. After reading your history and thoroughly analyzing the pictures, I can tell you the best part -that your red rashes are not related to any type Sexually Transmitted Diseases or infection.

Now you must be anxious to know that why this redness is coming or recurring symptoms of redness after masturbation.

The red areas are actually appearing due to the friction during the masturbation. Even sometimes there is appearance of mild frictional blisters which are formed due to the friction and force during the act. Due to the friction and force applied, the superficial skin gets mildly peeled off and abraded and it leads to the kind of redness which you mentioned.

This is very very superficial and and so heals in a day or two and it never leads to any problem. Let me tell you again that these things are quite normal and usual things, so there is no need to go for any tests or visiting a doctor.

The initiating factor could be the improper hygiene. It occurred when you haven't had washed after masturbation. So the semen at the local area remained at the glans and the foreskin which sensitized the area. This lead to itching and then redness followed by it. This is most common in uncircumcised males due to opposing surface of the glans penis and foreskin covering it.

To prevent this redness in future, do not apply extra pressure or force during sexual act or masturbation. Also maintain a good hygiene and therefore wash the area two times a day with simple water. Do not apply any kind of chemicals over the area.

I reassure you again that these things are quite normal and usual things, so there is no need to go for any tests or visiting a doctor.

Hope I have answered your query, if you have any further query I will be happy to help.
Wish you good health

Kindly see the answer below

Detailed Answer:
Hello young man,
Welcome gain to the forum and thanks for your prompt reply.

It is quite natural and normal to find wrinkled skin over the penile area after any redness or irritation. We are just one day old from our skin part, this means our skin is renewed every day. It is imperceptible in normal condition. But whenever there is bit irritation to the skin, the skin gets renewed faster. This old skin appears as wrinkled skin. On other of the sites of body it appears as dry skin but because of the moist nature of the area at glans penis, it appears as bit winked.

In majority of cases there is no need of applying any cream as it becomes alright in next couple of days. But if you feel the skin is very much wrinkled then you can apply any bland cream such as simple petroleum gelly over it in very thin layer.

Rest of the things for redness and pimple like appearance, I have already explained in the previous mail.

Lastly I again reassure you for the normal occurrence of the problem. You are most welcome if you any more doubts or if you do not then can close the query and rate the answer.

Wish you good health
with regards,

Brief Answer:
Apply a cream as suggested below

Detailed Answer:
Hi young fellow,

Welcome to the forum again.

I have gone through the latest of the pictures sent by you. I can make out that the redness has increased a bit. This is a usual phenomenon where you can have increased redness for a 2-3 days. Do not get panicky about this.

This redness is due to the sensitized skin as well as mild proliferation of normal flora (the bacteria ans fungus) which resides over the skin. If you will maintain a proper hygiene and wash it properly then you will be quite alright.

Do not try to touch it or pay attention again and again. By multiple times manipulation also the redness can increase because of touching of sensitive skin.

You can apply a mixed cream containing antibacterial such as mupirocin and mild steroid such as fluticasone in it. Apply this in very thin layer. Do not apply beyond 5-7 days.

Do not be panicky to this situation. I quite often see young men like you who becomes very much tensed to this usually occurring situation. This is not a sign of sexually transmitted disease.

With best wishes of early recovery of the problem.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to the forum again.

Do not worry you will be alright in next few days. If at all the problem continues then you can XXXXXXX a dermatologist and preferably in the skin at a medical college level who can personally see the condition to guide and reassure you.

Meanwhile continue with your simple hygiene measures. DO not try to touch or unnecessary manipulate the area. I have seen many times that due to apprehension we try to touch the area too frequently- so avoid that.
