Posted on Sat, 12 Sep 2015
Question: hello doctor
I had consumed quite a few cashew nuts in the last 3 days and started seeing my lips swell. Thinking it was an allergic reaction I took Benadryl all day today.
Now I am seeing a bumpy itchy swollen penile skin with some weeping on the underside of my penis.
I cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide. It feels better. What could it be
