Suggest Treatment For Severe Redness On The Penis Foreskin

Hi, I accidently caused friction damage to my penis using a masterbator toy, the damaged area shed the damaged skin, then was very raw, this area then became dry and cracked in several area, unfortunatly when flacid, the area becomes the forskin. It has become very painful due to the cracking with movement and urinating. The skin is obviously red, but I have kept it clean, upto now, there is no sign of infection, weeping or any other scenario that would worry me, All Ive used is soap and water to clean and some savlon cream now and then to try aid the heeling but its been 12 days so far and it doesnt feel like its heeling at all, is there something I can do to make the heeling process quicker? Like i say, no infection, weeping or itching.

Hi,

It can be contact dermatitis - you cannot use Savlon cream or other irritant in the penis. Mild Betadine or sterile salt water will do. The condition you suffer can be due to phimosis. Share a picture for confirmation.

Also, check for blood sugar since you say it doesn't heal. If you had unprotected sex - need to rule out sexually transmitted infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
