Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have cracks and redness with a burning sensation on my penis, below the head due to harsh masturbation. I need to know how to heal this wound.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

Apply Fucidin cream (Fusidic Acid) in the daytime for seven days. Kindly answer the following questions:

  1. Are you sexually active?
  2. Is there improper hygiene?
  3. Is there excess scratching and rubbing?

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the response.

  1. I am not much sexually active.
  2. I maintain proper hygiene.
  3. There is no scratching or rubbing.

Currently, I have a mild burning since the injury happened last night, I have applied aloe vera and some turmeric. The wound is not bleeding but seems red like the upper skin is scrapped off. I am worried about the wound catching any infection.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It looks like balanitis with a secondary bacterial infection.

My advice:

Consult your specialist doctor, talk to them, and take medications after their concent.

  1. Apply Fucidin cream (Fusidic Acid) at night for seven days.
  2. Tablet Zifi (Cefixime) 200 mg twice daily after food for five days.
  3. Take half a teaspoon of syrup Cital (Disodium Hydrogen Citrate) twice daily for seven days.
  4. Wash the area with Episoft cleanser (Butylene Glycol, Maltooligosyl Glucoside/hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, and cetostearyl alcohol) or any no-soap cleanser daily for a month.
  5. Take a tablet of Teczine-M (Levocetirizine and Montelukast) once at night after food for seven days.
  6. Keep the area clean and dry.
  7. Avoid occlusion or friction.
  8. Avoid injury or trauma to the site.
  9. Maintain proper genital hygiene.
  10. Practice safe sex.
  11. Avoid masturbation or sex until the lesion heals.
  12. Avoid scratching and rubbing the lesions.

Follow up after three weeks.

Thank you.
