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

any luck with this? currently going through the same thing.

did you ever find anything. I have literally had the same thing since 2015. It gets worse when I am stressed but never goes away. Not only do most doctors think I am crazy and not believe me, but I realized even the ones who don't just give me something non helpful to go away.

Went to the skin doctor who thinks I have lichen planus. I tried his creams for a month with no improvement. I go back next week. I am convinced this is something that is unknown to the medical community,

i have had the exact same symptoms. it started around 6 weeks ago for me after quite alot of sex. my penis became inflammed and irritated, which i did not think too much off. now i have glands which are showing as red dots on the Head of my penis. I went to the doctors and was prescribed an antifungal cream and also had STD tests.

These all came back as negative. The antifungal cream did not help and so I was then prescribed another antifungal cream with steroid in. Again, this did nothing to the symptoms.

I then was prescribed a stronger steroid cream. Again, this did nothing to the symptoms. I then was prescribed a stronger steroid cream. This helped but has not got rid of the symptoms whatsoever.

I would be interested to know if anyone has had any luck in treating the symptoms or if the symptoms have just subsided with time.

It has caused me anxiety and also I no longer enjoy sex whatsoever.it has caused me anxiety and also I no longer enjoy sex whatsoever.

I have booked in to see a dermatologist.I have booked in to see a dermatologist.

I must say it, it is quite surprising to hear that other dermatologists have not been able to treat the symptoms or seeming seemingly are unaware of what the issue might be.

Guys, same story as many of you here. Tested for everything and all negative. Had testicle pain and redness on glans. Also had UTI symptoms. Antibiotics seem to help but never resolved. I went the natural healing route and five months in I'm 95% better. Vitamin D and multivitamins in the morning followed by Garlic pills and goldenseal. Then garlic, ginger, and apple cider vinegar pills. Raw garlic with lunch and Sage pills in the afternoons. Before dinner I have a clove, wormwood, and black walnut pills. Before bed oregano oil or tumeric. Never overdue it, take the daily allowance written on the bottle or less. Stick with it, judge results month to month. I would also used garlic oil pills and apply to penis and testicles at night. I suspect this is some type of parasite. God Bless and research Health message from Walter Veith.

Has anyone found any solution to this? Have had same rash for over a year with no resolution. All symptoms started few days after sex with condom with new partner.

have tried:

topicals: clomitrazol, lotramin, pimecrolimus, clobetasol, aquaphor (daily), tacrolimus, lidocaine

antibiotics: bactrim, ceftin, azithromycin, amoxicillin, doxycycline

rash remains near identical to image in original post. I also still have minor discomfort in urethra, my urine stream splits into 2 at beginning/end of urination, and have noticed much more post-urination dribble. All of these symptoms occurred at the same time. I also had painful/burning ejaculation as well as a rash on upper thighs during onset of all of these symptoms which was cleared/did not return after using Pimecrolimus.

Have seem 3 derms, 2 urologists. have taken every std test under the sun multiple times (all negative), taken state of the art urine tests with no infections found. Have even done cystoscopy and everything found normal.

Here to share my story. For me it all started with Frequent urination then slight sharp pain on left side of the shaft just where it starts from scrotum just at the start of urination. Keep in mind no sexual intercourse for 11 months. nothing. Initially went to doctor told me to give urine sample. Came back clean. few days after test i shaved and then washed my groin area with menthol shampoo and noticed burning on scrotum, anal and penile. it all started around February 10th this year. went back to doctors and got prescribed antifungal miconazolnitrat for the groin. Scrotum irritation was just red skin and itchy subsided within 2 days of the creams application. The glands and rectum symptoms persisted. Then went on two do 4 std test, Urine PCR, Swap PCR, all came back clean from bacterial infection. Went to proctologist, said it looked fine checked for other things said i should see a dermatologist. before dermatologist i saw a urologist who looked at it, ultrasound for prostate kidneys, looked fine. said its in his normal range. that it looked fine. prescribed me steroid cream didn't help and made it seemed to irritate the glands and meatus. Asked doctors if it could be herpes everyone said no since i dint have blisters or sores. dermatologist saw the irritation thus no diagnosis, told me that glands can take a long time to heal from irritation. Then after reading that it could be HPV, and that there are no widely available test for men, i went to another urologist in private clinic and asked if i could be tested for high risk low risk types of HPV. came back negative. that was a major relief. But then the anxiety came back, doctors tell im overthinking. . It got a bit better but hasn't cleared up. Spider veins, enlarged vein. Been very active my whole life, heavy training and high loads. This doesn't hurt during training. Its mentally draining me everyday. Studying feels impossible. I got depression and stress because of this. Terrible sleep, random sudden pains through out the pelvic are. if it would be herpes i would assume it would have cleared up. My biggest worry and I cant help myself to think that my life is over in a sense that i cant have relationship, family or child. in few months i will try to see another dermatologist who specializes in groin area. Im scared that im danger to others. Ye sorry for bad grammar, but been reader since it happen.

hi guys going to go through my experience and see if this adds anything it all started on my last month or accutane the acne treatment was on 30mg for 4 months it was increased to 60mg 2 months in I had a low dose to start with because I have Crohn's disease.

started off a little dry and irritated mostly ignored it began to get swollen and red after any kind of sexual activity really bad at ejaculation it looks almost normal if its until its irritated

pain in the tip

red swollen at tip

lubes seem to irritated as well Vaseline is the only thing that won't

its been over a year tried all creams imaginable and none worked steroid cream made it a lot worse i try not to w**k as that irritates it and ejaculation hurts inside the penis mostly at the tip tho leaving it alone is the only thing that helps but it doesn't fix the problems the photos are within 5 min of ejaculation when it flares up

Hey guys,

I have had this condition for 10+ years now. Super sensitive top of glans with a slight redness to it. It hurts to wear underwear let alone having sex. For a long time i thought it was damaged from being continually irritated while surfing and rubbing in side board shorts when i was younger. Over the past two years Ive been researching a lot to try and figure out what is going on. From what i can work out this is caused from the irritation of the pudendal nerve, which runs from your sacrum (above tail bone) and branches off through the pelvic floor with one of the nerves (dorsal nerve) ending at the penis glans. These nerves can get damaged, irritated & entrapped a number of ways. I have been diagnosed by a pelvic physio for pelvic floor dysfunction which i think is a major contribution, if not the sole reason that my pudendal nerve is irritated. It flares up when I'm stressed (tightening of pelvic floor muscles) or been sitting down too long working at a desk. I have an icy/burning ache thats between the sit bones and my prostate area inside my pelvic floor. When this pain is present the penis glans pain is worse which shows me that these two things are connected. Lately I've been doing daily stretches, breathing exercises and also trying to start meditation to control the stress I live with. From what I've read, this condition can also be caused from having your pelvis misaligned, which tilts the sacrum and can entrap your pudendal nerve. I also have scoliosis which could be contributing to this.

So far i have had no good results from anything I've tried, besides some times when I'm hungover the penis irritation feels almost like its not present, which leads me to believe that this is mostly caused from my tight pelvic floor muscles relaxing when i was drunk.

I urge you to look into pudendal neuralgia and pelvic floor dysfunction.

Did anyone notice similar redness on glans after condom + using viagra/cialis + alcohol
