What Causes Rashes On The Penis After Using A Condom?
My boyfriend got a small rash on his penis after using a condom for the first time in 2 weeks last night. He has changed his laundry detergent this week as well and he thinks it could be this. However I am a tad worried, it looks like when you have imprinted something into the skin at the top of his penis (as if he had held a piece of fabric with beads over it onto the skin. It is a small red patch with dimples (not sores or spot like though- I asked him, he said it doesn’t itch or hurt). What could this be? I am also starting my period in a few days and I tend to get some signs of thrush or a bacteria infection around that time- my doctor said it is normal for me. We have also been having sex a lot recently, like 3 or 4 times a night for 3 nights straight. Could his rash be a reaction to any of this?
