Penile Rash/Balanitis Not Responding to Treatment

do you have an email so that i can send you all of my symptoms. i would do it here but it does not really seem to show how i want it to show.

i have read somewhere that in America a study showed that primecrolimus cream was effective in people with circinate balanitis, having looked the uk equivalent seems to be called elidal.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has tried it as a treatment because ive tried clotrimazole and an emuvate cream which seems to keep the symptoms at bay but they come back when i stop using it.

do you have any tips for sitting/laying down a certain way other than adjusting when the penis tip inflammation is irritated or uncomfortable? any underwear recommendations? i tried boxers which help my testicles from not being tight but the penis of course moves around more causing irritation when walking. And box briefs keep the penis from moving and being irritated however when i remove them my testicle varicoceles act up for about 12 hoyrs in and out of pain, which never happened until the inflammation started (i had an ultrasound on testes and varicoceles come and go theres no cure, but pressure adds to possible pain like from tight underwear.) Also even though i stamd and empty out my bladder completely 2 minutes after i urinate, moments later if i need to bend down about 1/3 more pee dribbles out as if i dudnt empty my bladder, so my underwear always has dribble spots now because the inflammation doesnt let the urine come out all the way even when pushed out, so my underwear always has dribbling on it after urinating when i set or stand or bend down. im expecting to have this condition for the rest of my life unfortunately as the bunch of us after years cant get anywhere to a cure, so im looking for ways to improve the disability from affecting my life, like simply sitting down without any effects.

This is a random thought since I've just moved to a new home recently and haven't had any red bumps issues yet. I've had this bizarre assumption that it could be related to a hot water heater at my old place. If I'm not mistaken, my penis bumps started appearing when a new one was installed last year and kept recurring throughout my time there. I've read some articles that do say a water source could cause eczema. Just a random suspicion of mine due to being cleared of all STDs and trichomonas/mycoplasma last year.

my symptoms

-rectum sometimes feels hot( not really burning)

-sometimes lower stomach ache or sudden pain that goes away

• pretty much my head of the penis is always red and also the foreskin, sometimes it does go down and it looks normal but not for long
• also sometimes i also feel hot in the space between the rectum and testicles
• the whole shaft of the penis feels really hot even sometimes when its soft. sometimes i feel the top part of the penis is normal temperature but towards the bottom of the shaft feel hot.
• when i sometimes masturbate the tip turns red as if i have a fungus.

Most skin problems on the head of the penis and and foreskin are caused by left over urine.

Try rolling back your foreskin each time you pee and drying afterwards with toilet paper. Do this every time you pee, same after you ejaculate.

I suffered with lichen sclerosus for years, steroid creams only worked temporarily. The above method solved my problem permanently.

You will see results in a week or two. The fix is really that simple. Surgery is not required, but its often the preferred choice of the urologists.

i'm still struggling massively with this.

glans are red and bumpy when erect, like spider vessels underneath. could list more symptoms.

I have hsv1, no idea when i got it and docs say not standard herpes but convinced it has to do with this.

ive tried so much and finally got some one to prescribe pregablin for nerve irritation. Due to start soon, so praying it works.

Has anyone followed the prostatitis/ cpps path yet?

I'm still trying to get an appointment with an urologist, but they all seem to be fully booked at the moment.

I'm experiencing a reddened glans, changes in the skin texture (there seem to be scars and the texture in general appears to be scaly) and a swolen meatus. There are some small bumps as well. Also there's some kind of odor coming from the glans and the glans often is wet, which is why I thought it'd be balanitis/ fungal infection. Went to a dermatologist that could rule out herpes and any kind of fungal infection.

This has been going on for a couple of years now.

No cremes have helped, I think it has to be caused by something internal.

Has anyone experienced prostatitis or cpps? Could this cause my/our symptoms?

Hi guys,

I have the exact same thing. The dermatologist prescribed me a steroid cream and it did reduce the redness a little. However, if I stopped using the steroid, i felt the redness came back almost immediately.

Have you guys figured out anything?

Thanks!

got the same issue, now its my first day using zaricort cream ( for fungal inx) and also taking barley product for almost 2 weeks now. then now got some changes on my meatus, it become lesser redness and no more pain when urinating and doing masturbating. will do update you soon for the rashes of my gland penis.

I believe it is definitely bacterial. I have had sex with multiple women after having this issue and my penis reacts differently with each women. For example: girl 1 had sex and no issue (multiple times) Girl 2 had sex and inflamed like crazy where i couldn't even touch my penis it would hurt and get red like it had never gotten before with slight dots all over . Same issue kept happening with girl 2 - assuming her bacteria didn't mix with mine. Girl 3 had slight issue but dots didnt appear and wasn't as bad and could have sex again with her. Went back to girl 1 and absolutely no issue. Then went to girl 2 and came back as usual it got worse as usual with exact symptoms - to the point where i had to avoid her as we definitely could not have sex. This sucked a lot because I liked girl 2 than the rest but I realized couldn't have a future with her due to this issue and now I need to have sex before getting into a relationship to know if our bacteria matches which i think is Fu*ed up. I can handle the pain and constant burning and irritation but having to know that some girls can cause it to flare up to the point where even if it touches a little the entire thing flares up is the real downer. This thing is a curse. I hope someone finds a cure. Been having it for 4 years now. We need nanotech to come sooner as im sure it will help in the medical field.

hello all, any progress with treatments/diagnosis ?

I have at some points found benefit from tea tree mixed with castor oil

but steroid creams and various creams have also damaged it worse . it is so stressful

i came back to this forum after following for 2 years. seems my condition spontaneously cut cured itself after approximately18 months. i even got circumcised after a year of symptoms and only got minor improvements. I’m not entirely sure what cured it butI tried everything.
