Suggest Treatment For A Bump On The Foreskin Of Penis While Having Balanitis

Posted on Mon, 27 Jun 2016

Question: Hello
Recently my doctor diagnosed me with balanitis and I have been taking ampicillin to treat it.
About early March I noticed a pimple-ish bump on my foreskin. Not really sure what it is can anyone help.
I'm still taking medication for the balanitis.
And my std tests came back negative.
My doctor seems to think it's a blood vessel which I have doubts it is.

Brief Answer:
Photograph required

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.

You have been taking antibiotics for long.
Balanitis would have been cleared by now.

Can you Please upload a photograph of the involved area ?

This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis.

Waiting for your response.
Thank you.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to answer my question and help me out. I have attached more pics for you to see. A little more details about me.
I work at an office so I'm sitting at a chair 9 hours a day, after work I usually go to the gym and workout for about 2 hours.
Since the doctor diagnosed balanitis I have not had any sex since I don't want to risk it.
I attached a picture of the ointments I have been using also.
Usually after I urinate I wipe my penis off with a piece of toilet paper so no urine gets trapped under the foreskin.
I'm not sure if I'm over cleaning it causing more irritation.

Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photograph.
It is looking like allergic reaction.
There is no infection.
Antibiotics might not help you.
Apply a mild steroid cream like cortisone in night and apply aloevera cream in day.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

I have been doing this for a month now still seems to not go away?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rahul Kumar (11 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Use cortisone and aloevera

Detailed Answer:
Hello
You have been using cortisone and antibiotics.
This combination might not be helpful in reducing irritation.
Try cortisone in night and aloevera or plain petroleum jelly in morning.
After 15 days stop cortisone and continue with aloevera application twice daily.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
