Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I noticed after masturbation that my penis had friction-like burns on the gland portion of my penis. I got circumcised at the age of 21. So, I have a little extra foreskin. I had a few small red bumps show and then disappear. One doctor said it was balanitis and the other said penile friction. One prescribed an antifungal cream and one prescribed Bacitracin. The area burns a little. What do you think?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your history and seen the attached images (attachments removed to protect the patient 's identity).
I think it is due to penile friction. I do not see any signs suggestive of fungal infection. You should apply a steroid-antibiotic combination like Mometasone-Fusidic acid (antibiotic) cream on the affected area twice daily for a week's time. Besides this, keep this area as dry as possible. Use plain water for washing this area and avoid vigorous masturbation till it gets healed.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thanks for replying.
Where can this cream be found? Is it over-the-counter or prescription? And if that other medicine is prescription, is there something else I can use over-the-counter that works?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
That cream is available on prescription. So, you can take Cortisone cream and Neosporin (Neomycin, Bacitracin, and Polymyxin B) ointment and mix them in minute amounts on your palm and apply over the affected area twice daily. Both of these are available as over-the-counter drugs.
Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
