Itchy glans and foreskin
Posted , 4 users are following.
Ive had an itchy penis for about 4 or 5 days now. Its just the head and under the foreskin. started off with rash of dark red spots on the head and red and itchy foreskin. rash has now gone and i now have some really tiny lumps right on the bottom edge of the glans and still red and itchy foreskin.

Have you recently had unprotected sex, or received oral? If sexual activity is not the cause then you need to consider EVERYTHING your penis is in regular contact with, including soaps, shower gels, body wash and suchlike. Do you regularly use a Lube of any kind, such as baby oil or any form of skin cream for example? What can happen is that eventually the skin becomes unable to cope with the different things it has regular contact with and sometimes almost anything you apply to it can make the skin irritation worse .....

Thanks for the advice. i have had unprotected sex and oral but with my wife so i dont think its that. i kept googling it and think it may be balanitis due to being on antibiotics. apparently the antibiotics can kill the good bacteria causing the bad bacteria on the penis to have no competition therefore growing and causing balanitis. What would the treatment for this be? Don't want to go to doctor as last time i had doctor looking at my penis i got hard when he was examining my penis and was so embarrassing

you have balanoposthitis. swelling and inflammation of the head of the penis and foreskin. if your wife has had a urinary tract infection or any vaginal itching it could be a sign of an infection that started with her- the vagina is very well packed with bacteria that doesn't always agree with your penis so you both need to be seen by a doctor because both of you have or will have an infection. this is probably a simple case like a yeast infection or bacterial infection- you can get the medication for women's yeast treatment at Walmart or local pharmacy and use it for both of you. just out it under your foreskin and take a shower 2x a day. make sure you are not using soap at all of you've already used it(shouldnt be using soap on your penis at all)
when you shower pull the foreskin back and run it under warm water while scrubbing the surface of your glans and foreskin with your fingers; drip dry and then reapply the medication. do this for 2 weeks and then stop the yeast treatment and get hydrocortizone if your foreskin feels a little tight. if your foreskin ever becomes tight it's most likely because of an infection or damage and you can stretch it out again when you are healed- do this by inserting 2 fingers into the foreskin and pulling apart. not hard enough to cause pain but enough to feel the tension for 10 minutes everytime you go to the restroom.hydrocortizone
will essentially sooth the irritation and swelling and help it from becoming tight. your foreskin has a muscle in it so if you dont use it you lose it and this can cause a problem. any questions?

I do recommend you get seen by a doctor , but yes these are over the counter. it can be nerve wracking to show your penis to someone else but I can assure you, we've seen worse. in the medical community its seen as just another body part - even if you do start getting an erection it just shows that its working;
it could be worse, patients have orgasmed from a prostatic exam and even then it's not something we will judge you about. in fact we probably wont remember what happened by the end of the day. let me know if I can help more. I'm on vacation and I'd rather not be 😉
