Question: Hello, I noticed that my penis stated itching yesterday after a 6 mile run. It has been itching all day yesterday and a little last night. The only things that changed were a switch from neutrogena body wash to old spice body wash. I changed body wash products about 1 week ago.
Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction
Detailed Answer:
HI
You seem to be developing an allergic reaction over the penile region. This can be attributed to the newly used products over the area in the form of body wash but I would like to rule out other possibilities before we proceed with the treatment.
I would like to know if there are any skin lesions over the penis or is there is any redness or swelling over it. If there are any skin lesions, then you can click some close up pictures of the same and upload them here on this page.
Please provide of some other details also.
Also other than the body wash, have you applied anything else to the area.
Have you lately been on any drugs in the form of painkillers or antibiotics?
I am sure I will be able to help you more once you provide me the above details.

Thank you in advance.
Brief Answer:
Allergic skin
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
The kind of itching that you have is due to development of an allergic reaction.
Now such reactions can occur due to any new substance in the form of a cream, oil or body wash which is applied to the area.
I would advise you to stop application of anything to the area now.
Just clean it with plain water and apply a topical steroid cream like cortisone cream over it twice a day. In addition, you will need to take some oral antihistamines like benadryl which can act inside the body to control the allergic tendency.
You will need to change the bodywash that you started using a few days back only.
You can continue to use the cream for four to five days . I am sure it will relieve your problem.
Also the problem of dribbling of urine points towards symptoms of a prostatic enlargement. I would advise you to see a surgeon and get yourself assessed for the same.
Please ask if you need any further clarifications
