Fore skin redness and shiny penis glans

For the past one month, I am having red foreskin and red spots on glans.

There is a white discharge under the foreskin even if I don't clean it for a single day. After washing the glans become shiny n develop wrinkles later. What it possibly be ?

I had sex around 1.5 months back. The symptoms developed after 15 days from the sexual activity. I used condom though. I don't have any issue while urinating but after urination it burns for 5-10 minutes at the tip of penis. I am uncircumcised and 25 year old. I consulted a urologist and applying onabet ointment for past 20 days and taking doxy tablets but the condition is not improving. The urologist diagnosed blantopithis. But I am having no improvement.

Please suggest something.

    Hi Lostknight

    The same thing recently started happening to my glans. The skin because wrinkly and it looks like it’s now going to start peeling.

    Like you, I don’t have any pain or discharge. Are you still experiencing the symptoms? My glans looked similar to yours with the wrinkly lines going across it. Was hoping you could tell me how you treated your glans.

    Thanks

      The shiny glans have not improved much and the red dots are still there. The dots are more visible after getting an erection. But the redness of foreskin has subsided with the use or aloe vera gel and coconut oil alternatively.

      Hope this helps!

    Hi guys, 

    I’m new to all this and am freaking out... 

    I slept with a women over a year ago and seem to have the problems everyone on here is... 

    Red blotchyness but comes and goes... mainly if I masturbate (sorry) but then will calm down again ..... and small lymph node in my neck a bit sore... 

    I’ve looked up all stds and nothing seems to be it...  I’ve looked into balantis and I’m sure that’s it, can you get balantis from sex (sorry stupid question)

    I’ve uploaded a few pics any feedback greatly appreciated

      I didn't had any itchiness like in balanitis, just the red dots and shiny glans. It has improved over a period of time but shiny glans with red or purple dots are still there. I used aloe vera gel and coconut oil and always ensured cleanliness with luke warm water.

      Balanitis is caused by some kind of trauma to the skin e.g. chemical, infection, allergy or chaffing. It is not caused by sex, although sex can aggravate it once you have got it. It is not an infection and can’t be caught or transmitted. It is a condition of the nerves where they became hypersensitive and hyperactive due to the trauma. Avoid washing the penis with anything scented or even with plain soap (incompatible ph). Just use warm water or wipe with coconut oil. Coconut oil should sooth the condition - just be aware it can cause oily stains on your trousers! Best to apply it before you go to bed so it is on there all night. Also stop sex / masturbation until it is fully better - you are only going to aggravate the condition and make it more difficult to get rid of.

      Balanitis is a general term that includes specific skin conditions and infections that may affect the penis

      You saying it is not an infection is incorrect

      Balanitis is a description of the symptoms (inflammation and irritation) one of the causes of which can be infection. Balanitus itself is not the infection, it is a result of infection ... or trauma, or allergy, etc. Just as dementia is not a disease or condition, it is a description of a set of symptoms (memory, information processing, perception, language production difficulties, etc) caused by a disease or condition (the most common being Alzheimer’s).

      Here is a quote from Patient (i.e. the website of which these forums are part):

      Balanitis means inflammation (redness, irritation and soreness) at the end of the penis. There are many different causes which include infection (sexually transmitted infection, other bacterial infections or thrush), skin irritation and certain skin conditions.  The treatment of balanitis will depend on the underlying cause - antibiotics will clear infection caused by germs, while steroid cream is useful for balanitis caused by allergies.

    You folks are freaking me out!

    I want to say am uncut, have *A* spot, fit all of what you guys are saying, but don't have any symptoms, go figure.

    Spot disappears if I put any pressure on it, but it showed up a couple days ago. Since then, I have abstained from everything, and it has put a damper on my psychologically.

    I am using Irish Spring soap w/charcoal, but spot did not show up until after I have been using soap constantly for a few days at the gym showers (before, it was just the gym soap).

    What is freaking me out is that this may lead to some more surprisessad.

      hi, having the same problem, I started noticing , a little bit of redness and irritation at the tip of the glans, just above the urethra, and below the urethra. No blisters, no nothing, just redness, dryness. After I got an erection I could feel the skin streching and it looked very shiny, and afterwards very wrinkled when it when to its normal size. An urologist saw me , I was scared because I was thinking it could be herpes, and he told me to calm down. Just to wash the penis with saline solution, no soaps. I have had mild improvement but the redness , dryness and little burning sansation persists. I did had oral sex with out a condom... so I am still wating the worse. Almost 2 weeks now. Any luck yet?
