Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 20-year-old male. I have currently experiencing redness and soreness at the head of my penis. Especially after masturbation, not only the head but also the shaft of my penis become sore. I have this for a couple of weeks now and not sure what it is.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for writing to us, and I understand your concern. As you have mentioned, you have it for a couple of weeks, and it is after masturbation; this can be skin rashes due to rough touch. Or other is a fungal infection. I am prescribing you medicine for five days, please take, and everything will be fine.

  1. Use cream Beclomethasone and Clotrimazole two times a day after cleaning.
  2. Tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once a day after meal.
  3. Tablet Cefixime 200 mg twice a day for five days.

Please do not continue treatment for more than five days without consultation. Please tell me,

  • Did you have unprotected sex recently?
  • Is this the first time you have such rashes?
  • Do you have itching or any discharge from the penis?

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

No, I did not have any unprotected sex. Yes, it is the first time, and there is no discharge, but I have had itching.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

No problem. Please take the treatment and let me know after five days. Please message anytime if you have any questions. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
