Q. I have pain in the penis after frequent sex. Please suggest medications.
Answered by Dr. Purushottam Sah and medically reviewed by iCliniq medical review team.
Hello doctor,
I am a 36 year old male. I am married since six years. I went abroad for a project for two months. There were no sexual relations in these two months. I just came back from the project and am having sex twice a day for the past three days. Now, I have a slight pain in the tip and back of penis (underskin). I also found tiny red rashes under the foreskin and a little bit of smegma. I am cleaning the penis after every act. This is the first time I am having this problem. Please suggest me medications.

Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- You can apply Acyclovir cream and Clotrimazole cream both together, thrice a day, until completely free of the problem and four to five days after that, use condoms.

Thank you doctor,
Shall I apply both the creams together or at different times? Shall I apply this under the skin of the penis or outside the penis? Because the label says 'external use only.' Can I apply this cream after sex? Will smegma get controlled after applying these creams?

Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- Smegma is increased due to inflammation.
- You can apply both together. First, apply Acyclovir, then Clotrimazole after ten minutes.
- Apply them to the foreskin and penis head. It is an external application. Internal application means inside the mouth, ear, etc.
- You can apply it after sex. Clean the penis with soap only. Do not use Dettol, Savlon, etc.
