Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I get this penile cracks/rips after sex. Which started about a few months ago. I ve been tested. And it doesn t look like a yeast infection. They ve healed before, yet the skin still remained lighter, and then boom, after sex again---they reappeared. What do I do for it to completely heal?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Experiencing cracks on penis after intercourse could be just a superficial skin abrasion and mechanical pressure penis skin. It looks like the infection is recurring again and again. Kindly undertake the following measures to overcome your problem. Kindly clean the spot with mild antiseptic solution like Povidine twice daily. Apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream on the spot after drying. You can take antiinflammatory medication like Ibuprofen. Kindly maintain good genital hygiene. It would be better to use barrier methods like condoms while having intercourse. Kindly get your partner checked and get her treated in case she has yeast or bacterial infection. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
