Blotchy red rash/irritated skin on penile head (lasted for over 3 moths now)?

Don't be silly mate. What are your symptoms. It's possible yes. 

Cut out every carb from your diet and get some canasten. Every time you go for a p**s, wash your head. By doing this, you're killing two birds with one stone. Could fungal, could be balantitis. 

Sure you want to be putting that on your genital region???, google it, says DO NOT use for genital warts, let alone in the genital region....honestly, for genital region, I'd try to keep it as natural as possible.  Even man1oil has PEG's in it. I threw out everything that had PEG in it. Most of the those speciality penis creams have loads of crazy chemicals in them, no way!

Here is what I'm experimenting with, I alternate all of these, rub some in every few hours, alternating. Hitting it with everything I have. Again, assuming in my case it's HPV but still not 100% sure so just trying everything.....

First a quick hit list, then more detail:

Shea butter

Suragel

Castor oil

RRPD

Aloe Vera gel (with carrageenan)

Trip antibiotic ointment

Webber First aid vitamin E cream

- Shea butter, buy grade A shea butter from Africa (ebay). It is like a spa for any skin, loaded with nutrients, vitamens, moisturizing, you name it, it has it. AND it's 100% natural. I mix a few chunks in with Olive oil, coconut oil and one or two essential oils (stopped using tea tree oil because I read it can cause hormonal issues) so 10-20 drops of Oregano oil, grapefruit seed extract or cinnamon oil. I found this has done nothing but good so far...

- Suragel, brand name speciality cream for balanitis ( all natural) I find it pretty good but when I put it on, it has the same "coating" feel of one of the other speciality creams I tried that had chemical that is used to coat the skin, which is not so good. I tried e-mailing Suragel about this but got no response.

- Castor oil, age old remedy for gential warts. Great for the skin in general. Generally safe when applied externally. I like this because it's thick and really sooths the head and doesn't rub off easily. So far, good results.

- RRPD (red rash penis doctor) a mix of essential oils, created for balanitis sufferers. Comes in a small brown bottle, discreet, smells kind nice and natural. So far, seems to help, no complaints.

- Aloe vera gel (with Carrageenan) you can get this at the health food store. If you suspect you have HPV, really important to find anything with enough carrageenan in it. They've studied this (comes from red algea) and kills HPV in it's tracks, something like a drop of carrageenan in a bathtub of water is enough to kill the virus. I would say this Aloe gel has probably made one of the biggest impacts so far. Everytime I do a rub session with this stuff, my glans turn blotchy read after 15min, it's like the virus is being killed off or something and any pain or pinching is soothed. It's nothing but pure relief.... and any swelling goes right down.... after the session, the redness dissipates and things turn normal color..

- Triple antibiotic ointment, I'm not sure if this is required in my case but I'd thought I'd cover all bases so I've been putting this on now and then. Seems to help.

- Webber First aid vitamin E cream (12500IU) extra strength. Oh man, I've just started putting this on and it literally sooths all pain. So far, greats results.

Just rotating all of these and giving the glans a spa treatment for as long as it takes...so far so good...I dare say noticing small improvements everyday.

Another crucial thing that I feel is helping, is to eat really well, veggies, fruits, garlic, green smoothies etc. cut out sugar, white fluffy breads, alcholol, coffee etc.

Also added supplements for prostate health and for immunity defense. Getting plenty of sun for vitamin D also.

Currently, my symptoms are down to 

-slight patch of redish/sunburned looking on top of glans that can get slightly sore if rubbing on pants etc.

-slightly redish meatus, can be slightly sore sometimes, seems to flare on occasions with no sleep, certain foods etc.

- some slight redish bumpiness on the glans (avocado) texture at seemingly random times, sometimes after whack'n it, mostly just random (really weird I know)... it's like an illusion, then next second will be completely normal. I attribute it to HPV affecting things at cellular level/inflammation etc. HOWEVER it seems to be getting better, not worse.

- Some slight aching/full sensation in rectum, most likely prostate or prudendal nerve. My theory is that the HPV infected and inflammed the whole pelvic floor..... this always seems worse if I don't whack it for a few days, once I whack it, dies down, but overall doesn't seem to be getting any worse, seems to be improving. I do pelvic floor exercises everytime it flares up, I find it REALLY helps. One I find really helpful if I have a pinching flare-up at the meatus (usually related to prostate/CPPS) is lie on your back with your knees up/bent and feet flat on the ground, rotate your pelvis in a clockwise direction trying to keep your tailbone stuck to the floor, then switch direction....find this helps to loosen all those inflammed tense muscles that in turn pull on your urethra/penis.

- Small fleshy wart like thing just above the glans on shaft, just one about size of grain of rice. Trying to treat it with castor oil. If it goes away, then will confirm it's HPV. If it stays, then big mystery...

Hope all these suggestions help. The more you can throw at this, the better.  I'm still experimenting and will keep posted with results....

IMO, in most cases, this is totally cureable, just takes a while and you have to find what works for you. You have to take some time and focus on healing yourself. and # 1 again, HEALTHY DIET AND PLENTY OF SLEEP.

 Ya it's weird, SOMXL is marketing as being good for that and genital area, but it uses salicylic acid...

if you google info on salicylic acid, it says not to put it on genital area...conflicting info. If it works for you with no side effects, go for it. Keep us posted.

So you are rubbing it all over the glans?? 

This is an interesting thread and it sounds like you're making really good progress! I'm still not totally onboard with the idea that it's HPV however as mine originated from sleeping with someone who had a yeast infection, I'm far more of the mind that this is a deep rooted sub-dermal yeast infection caused by the yeast getting into any micro-abrasions. Then again this could be triggered from various sources and display the same way. Would you be interested in doing a video call? We seem to be of similar minds in terms of treatment routes, as I've just finished up a long course of fluconazole which has done very little and I want to focus on maintaining my overall health and going as 'natural' as I possibly can.

Right. There are a few other forums regarding this topic aswell, there's one thread with over 600 posts over on medhelp..."Persistent Inflamed & Irritated Meatus" . One guy in particular, rbaker765, was really prominent on there, parents were doctors so he had backdoor access to specialists in labs etc. he went through so many antibiotics and regimens trying to treat this it was insane...turned out his case was really hard to treat chlamydia, that tested negative many times before he was able to bring it to the surface through a garlic concoction, pull it out of the prostate and finally had the doctors believe him with a pos test for chlamydia.....but he discharge etc. so I don't have any of that....

So, with everything else negative, HPV or yeast is about the only thing that makes sense....or some benign bacteria that our body had a bad reaction to.

These forums are amazing, you would not get near the help through common MD or GP's. They're just too busy with other patients issues --> just right scripts and send you on your way, they don't really have time get to the root of the problem. Gotta heal yourself.

 Can you repeat symptoms again please....

 In that image, I see a lot of over the counter stuff.....those rarely work.

Have you tried the natural stuff I listed in the post above? Shea butter, essential oils like oregano, cinnamon oil, grapefruit seed extract (dilute them in a carrier oil like coconut oil or olive oil)..

There's also aloe vera plant (use the actual plant, and eat it too)

tried castor oil too?

Also, you need to heal this from within, how is your diet, this won't get better if you smoke, eat greasy fried food everyday. Once and a while is ok, but if you go 80% veggies (lot's of green) 20% fruit, nuts and seeds, herbs. You give your body everything it needs to repair itself... combine that with exercise to get the blood flowing to all parts of the body.

This incident happened approximately 10 months ago - I had sex with a woman who had a bad reputation for sleeping around a lot. I used a condom however the condom broke midway and didn't realize it until we were done with having sex. When i saw the condom broke i freaked out. I took a bottle of whiskey and washed my penis (like an idiot) with it hoping that i wouldn't catch any diseases. Less than 2 days later my penis was feeling different and got a rash and tight forskin 

I went to the doctor around a week later and i got tested for most common STDs - All came back negative. The doctor said i have balanitis and he gave me some anti-fungal cream and i did that for a few months and not much of a difference happened, after several months with no change i was prescribed a stronger anti-fungal cream and still no change. After doing my own research, i purchased products that would help and nothing really worked. - Tried Coconut oil, castor oil, Lavender and even tea tree oil that almost burnt my penis as it was potent. But i wanted to ask, is the RRPD worth the 80 dollars ? Im thinking of trying that next as ive tried a lot of other organic methods..After reading your post i also ordered oregano oil so that i can mix it with coconut oil and see if anything happens but i have low expectations as ive tried a lot of things with different oils. 

There is slight tight forskin. The head of the penis does get swollen when i masterbate but my main problem is the rash/irritation as it is quite visible. I even stopped using any products for a week to see if there will be a difference but no change. 

Ok, great information...

Sounds like you've been down the road I'm currently on and you've tried most things I've been trying ...so that's not too good news . So to answer your question, if you've havn't had success with OTC creams or organic stuff, I doubt the RRPD will work. It's combo or essential oils, you can look it up...but I wouldn't expect miracles...if you're 10 months in, I don't think the issue is going to be solved via ANY oil or cream.....and it's expensive. 

**regarding tee tree oil, always make sure to dilute pure essential oils in a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil..

My question would be, do you find any relief when using some of the oils or creams? like they might cure the issue but do they atleast provide some relief?

So big news today, 6-8-2018, has been about 4 months post encounter (if this s**t is even from sex, I was chilling all over the place, random highly chlorinated hot tubs/pools, drinking a lot, had super long lasting nasal cold before this all started) anyway, things seemed to be getting better but today had this SUPER WEIRD flare up. Literally lasted only a few hours in the morning after putting castor oil on the glans. I've put castor oil on before with no issues... Now I'm trying to think of what would cause this, was it food from breakfast? (I had a begal with creamcheese, I've eaten that before, no issues). I did notice last night seemed to be acting up but nothing like the flare up in the morning, worst I've seen it since it started...pink puffed and inflamed red patch on top of glans, red spots that feel a little harder than the surrounding skin... I'm just at a loss for what this is. HPV? Yeast?  now I'm tempted to throw autoimmune issue in there...

Here's some images of the flare up that happened today, and the weird wart/fleshy thing that appeared about 2-3 weeks after encounter..........open to opinions

 Yeah. Couldn't agree more with the irritation theory, it looks almost like a rug burn that's trying to heal. It's just so weird. Prior to this flare up today, it was hardly noticeable and thought things were healing up...there is always a pink rug burnt hue on a triangle patch ontop and some irritation at the tip but very mild 1/10, and the pink is just barely noticeable, but still shouldn't be there ofcourse. Today, for a few hours there it was pretty inflamed and a brighter shade of pink, red dots/patches too (never really seen those before) with tiny tiny bumps, I could feel them, they felt hard, they had very tiny bubble tips sort of like minuscule pimples....and the pain/irritation was 3/10. Havn't felt that level for a while. In my case, it's almost like the pain/irritation always alternates from rectum/prostate vs. Meatus/glans.... If I have a flare up it's alway one or the other it seems. Like today, I distinctly noticed very little or no irritation or sensation in my prostate where usually, for the last few months, it waxes and wains... funny thing also, when this first started happening, I'd get a weird warm/flush sensation in my left inner thigh, it would alternate from thigh to meatus/glans. Then later on rectum/prostate but I havn't felt that sensation in my thigh since then the prostate/rectum started up...

Ok thanks. Really good to know about the castor oil and D-care. Anything helps. So far, I've been treating the wart thing with castor oil on a bandage, has been about a week so far, don't really notice any change....castor oil is supposed to get rid of HPV warts like 90% of the time, so if it doesn't work.....I'm going to be even more stumped...

Like I mentioned I have my go to items and they seemed to be working pretty well...just not sure what happened today. I didn't really do anything different that usual. I've applied castor oil before without issue...could it be bringing up bacteria/toxins from out of the skin? hence the flare up??

List of potential things I did this morning that could have possibly caused flare up..

- Showered with soap on weiner and balls, usually have been avoiding it.

- Went for a jog, got sweaty as balls... literally, balls and D were sweaty, but showered right after.

- Ate a begal, but have done this before, no issue. Theory would be that wheat would inflame yeast infection.

- Applied castor oil before jog to protect from irritation, but have done before with no issue.

Yes, we know something isn't right so let's keep pursuing it. We'll get this fixed and help a bunch other people in the process. Get a swab and more tests if you can and report back. Swab on the rash and if you can handle it, inside the urethra, tell him/her to google this topic and they will see it's a big issue for many men. I'm going to wait it out a little longer but then I'm going to my GP and asking for a referral to a dermatologist, they will be much more knowledgeable about something like this. An STD clinic might be good also but they don't test for HPV here in Canada and the only test I need to redo is for HSV-1 which I'm just about in the 3 month window now, but I have my doubts it's that.

ask your doctor to do a test for trichomonasis and m.genitalium if that's possible, check for parasites.

Here is a modified image from this mornings flare up. I played with the contrast and color saturation to help make things more clear...

- will keep posted
