Red Marks On Penis Due To Application Of Hand Sanitizer. Should I Be Concerned?
I had a massage recently, and at the end the Masseuse used hand sanitizer on my private parts. There was a happy ending and they were claiming that it was lotion. It was hand sanitizer and burned like hell. It left a couple of red marks on my penis. Should I be concerned? Will this simply go away with time? Signed, Confused & Embarrassed.

Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have allergic reaction to the chemical in a sanitizer.
Please take anti histamin drug for 5 days and apply topical soothing Gel like Lignocaine or steroid Gel available over the counter. Gel.
Do not worry It will get resolved within a week.
