Have A Chemical Burn On Tip Of Penis, Diabetic, Have Swelling And Redness. What Can I Do?
I have a chemical burn on the tip of my penis and foreskin as the result of dipping into water in the toilet bowl mixed with an unknown cleaning agent. I am diabetic and did not sense any pain therefore the chemical was not washed away for several hours. That happened 5 days ago. I am now experiencing significant swelling and redness at the tip of the penis and considerable pain. What shouId I do until I can get an appointment with a dermatologist? I do not have a credit card. I will have to wait until I can get an appointment locally.

no need for dermatologist . all you need is good antibiotic and anti inflammatory drugs and some local antiseptic like pavidone iodine solution. where are u from . whats your age is your blood sugar controlled
wat medicine you take for diabetes . only thing I am worried is no pain there. so don't wait. any doc can treat it. but preferably a diabetologist because of that infection .
good luck keep in touch
