Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Two days ago, I spilled a big amount of really hot green tea on my stomach and genitals. It started hurting very much for the first five to six minutes. I immediately went to the bathroom and started pouring cold water on my body. The pain started to go away after the first hours. But my stomach skin was red and I still felt that my penis was hurting. One day passed, and I do not feel anything, even when I am erect. Almost all the redness in my stomach went away. But my penis has these black marks, scarred black marks as if it was burned there. I want to know if it is going to heal. If so, how much time does it need? and what can I do to speed up the process? Or is it going to be there forever? And more importantly, am I going to have infertility issues because of that?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I read your query and understand your concern. I am not able to see how much it burned your skin, so I could help you properly but will guide you as much as I can. According to your description, the burn is not so deep so it would not affect your fertility. You should have masturbation and intercourse for at least one week, that much time is needed to heal the skin properly, and right now your skin is fragile and masturbation or intercourse may cause more damage. I suggest using Soframycin cream over the affected area twice daily. I hope this helps you, feel free to ask further queries.

Thank you.
