Suggest Remedies For A Painful Raw Rash On The Penis
Question: Hello, I have had a sore on my penis for about months now. It healed on one side and then the sore came on the other side. Ive used DESITIN and it seem to help one side, however, it seems that this sore or flesh wound is not healing as the otherside did. I'm a little concerned.
Brief Answer:
psoriasis of the glans
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns.
I am sorry to hear that you have a rash on your penis that is painful and raw. More than likely you have a condition known as psoriasis of the penis or glans. This is a skin condition and needs to be treated with steroid cream. You can first try using hydrocortisone twice daily but if that does not work then you need the stronger steroid cream called triamcinalone. Once you get control of the rash use the steroid only as needed as daily use can cause thinning of the skin.
In summary
1. Psoriasis of the penis
2. Use hydorcortisone
3. If no improvement see your medical provider for a stronger steroid triamcinalone
4. Use daily until controlled then as needed
