My concern is dry foreskin and painful retraction. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have developed an allergy to latex. You have developed redness and pain while using a condom. This is probably a hypersensitive reaction to the condom. As you have dryness, and if there is a pain, I advise you visit a dermatologist for an opinion. The problem is not severe, and this will become fine within a few days.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Your foreskin is dry, and you are not able to move it back. But I hope that it is not stuck over the tip of the penis, and there is no swelling over the tip. If the skin is stuck over the tip, then it can be due to a tight foreskin called phimosis. If you do not have a recent history of unprotected sexual intercourse and if you are in a monogamous relationship, then, this is not STD. This is not a dangerous thing. Most likely, it is due to an allergic reaction.

Please upload the images. Apply ice over the affected part, and this will provide relief. For pain, take tablet Ibuprofen 600 mg twice a day for five days after meals. This will reduce inflammation and pain. Apply Desonide cream over the foreskin for ten days twice a day and then once a day for the next ten days. This will reduce the symptoms. Please visit a dermatologist for an opinion.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have checked the images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The skin is getting dry, which means that the outer inflammation is subsiding. But there is redness over the urethral opening, and it looks inflamed. It can be urethritis or infection of the urethra. There are no visible ulcers in the images. So, we can rule out STDs. You do not have a discharge, so, we can rule out gonococcal infection too.

The inflammation is developed before a few days, and it has not formed in this short period. You might not have noticed it. Take antibiotics like Cefixime twice a day for five days along with the drugs I have mentioned. Apply Fusidic acid cream, twice a day along with the cream given. About a week, you will be alright. Avoid having sex for at least a couple of weeks. Do not touch the part again and again. The inflammation may lead to the development of phimosis, and if you are not able to retract skin fully, then you have to visit a surgeon for management. Do not panic and you will be alright. Always practice safe sex.

With time, the lesions will get healed totally, and you will be able to retract penis fully. Early ejaculation is not a sign of STD, and it occurs due to stress. It is normal to have premature ejaculation during masturbation and the time will improve definitely during sex. Dryness results in itching, and it can occur due to candida infection.

It is not possible to comment with certainty, but candida can cause persistent itching. Remain relaxed during sex and clean the penis with water. Avoid using soaps over the penis, and you will be alright. There is no need to worry. Take tablet Fluconazole, and this will help in healing.
