Visible Red Marks Like Little Blister Rashes On Lower Shaft Of Penis. History Of Having Protected Sex. Will Masturbation Trigger The Infection?
22 male. So I had protected sex two weeks ago while I was in vacation and recently just masterbated today with this sunscreen lotion which I've used before. It doesn't work that well still creating friction while masterbating. I noticed on the lower shaft that there was a visible red marks or a little rash right after I was done. The marks are a little raised not exactly a bump but kinda looks like a small blister rash burn mark.Could this be the lotion or just possibly stroking to hard with the friction? Or could this possibly be herpes? Or if it is herpes could vigoursly stroking the shaft trigger the outbreak of herpes?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
- Most likely the rashes occurred due to violent shaking of penis. Due to rapid shaking there occur friction rash and this cause minor injuries on shaft of penis which result in healing blisters.
- It could be due to some allergic reaction from lotion but the allergy dont remain localized.
- The possibility of herpes is less as it is associated with severe pain and violent stroking dont trigger herpes. Herpes spread by intercourse with some infected person.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
Vigorous masturbation can cause friction related skin changes that may appear like rashes.
At the same time, protected sex does not entirely protect any one from Herpes of Genital warts infections. These infections are highly contagious and can be easily spread even by skin contact and need not necessarily involve unprotected sexual contact.
Herpes generally has a lot of accompanying pain and discomfort. You may use lubrication jelly instead of sun screen lotion and see for a while. If it is increasing then please visit a dermatologist.
Hope this helps
