What may cause an itchy pimple to appear on the penis after masturbating?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I just saw a pimple on my penis after masturbating. Yesterday, it was scratchy. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I am not able to access it. Still, such rash happens after infection or due to unhygienic masturbation, so there is nothing to worry about. I suggest a tablet Levocetirizine 10 mg once before a meal. Maintain general hygiene, clean it with soap and water daily. Please send me pictures again so I can prescribe you medicine accordingly (if anything additional is required). Did you have unprotected sex before?

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Did you see the pictures? I had protected sex last. But the condom slipped off when I was inside. I pulled out immediately. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I was not able to access your images. That is why I asked you to send the pictures so that I will check and add some more medications accordingly. Itching and rash happen due to unprotected sex only. You have a history of unprotected sex, so that it can be from that intercourse only. I have prescribed your medicines, and these medicines will help you. But please attach clear pictures of it again so I can check and let you know.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.

Regards.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I have attached three photos below. Please let me know what you think. There is no itching at all anymore, just this little pimple. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

After receiving the photographs, I carefully reviewed each (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). Nothing to be concerned about. This is a rash or swelling in the hair follicles, usually after masturbation or sexual activity. An infection is unlike anything other. Do not worry; it will be okay in a few days. And there is no need to take any medications because it is unrelated to sexually transmitted illnesses as well. There is no need to use lotion if the condition is not uncomfortable or itchy. So just unwind; everything will work out. Do you engage in sexual activity with unidentified or several partners? Do they exhibit any signs, your partner?

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Multiple, yes, but not unknown. None have shown any symptoms, and the last woman I had sex with got her test results, which all came back negative and non-detected. She did not have sex with anyone else until we did. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I would suggest you try to have protective sex or try to avoid sex with unknown partners. Because sexually transmitted diseases are widespread nowadays so, be very careful. Masturbation and all are completely safe. Even protected sex is safe. So do this and maintain hygiene after intercourse. Wash with soap and water after every intercourse. That’s how you are going to be safe.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

You have been a great help and have given me peace of mind. Should I still get tested? Or am I okay based on the pictures I have sent? Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Tests and all are only necessary when a person has symptoms like rashes on the foreskin, discharge from the penis, or a stench coming from the penis, but in your case, nothing like that, so just calm. It will all work out just fine.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

It is not an indication of Herpes, right?

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

The heroic rash appears on the foreskin, and the gland is not close to the testicle. Therefore, do not even think about that. It is only an irritation of the hair follicles; as I previously indicated, message me if it fails to go away in up to five days. I will prescribe you the appropriate medication. For the time being, you can simply rest.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Another question, I masturbate a lot. Should I calm down so the hair follicles will not inflame? Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

You should avoid it for a few days before doing it lightly. Doing it gently and hygienically is a safe method, ensuring it will not occur again. Wash it after masturbating, like I just said. You may also apply body lotions to soften the skin and prevent future hair follicle inflammation so that everything will be great.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.

Regards.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Today you have given me peace of mind, and I am grateful. Thank you. I have had problems with my penis after masturbation because I do not use any lotion. I thought the worse, thinking it was herpes or something else, and your feedback helped me not to stress. I want to say thank you again. Once again, the bump does not itch at all. It is still sitting there, but I will let you know if anything changes.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I am here to help you 24/7, and you can call or message me anytime.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.

Regards.
