Suggest Treatment For Redness And Irritation On Penis

I went to the ocean today, and all day my swimsuit was chafing against my penis head. It is now red and irritated, and so is my scrotum. Anything that touches it hurts like stinging needles. Is there any household items that can help? What should I do ?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Redness and irritation of penis may have occurred due to allergic reaction from contact with water.
Wash the area with warm water using mild antiseptic like Savlon. Dry with clean towel. Then apply Siframycin skin cream on it. Do this twice a day for three to five days.
Your symptoms should subside by then.
All the best.
