Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had oral sex three weeks ago. That day also I faced the same issue i.e I was unable to retract or pull back my foreskin completely, it took like three to four days to get to normal. Two days ago I masturbated and again facing the same issue i.e unable to retract the foreskin completely. It will be back to normal in another couple of days. I never faced such problem before, is it that I might have developed some an infection during that oral sex? But if there was infection how it went normal after three to four days. I have attached the video of it so you can examine. I have a few questions: Can I apply some ointment like Betadine or Soframycin? The Betadine is the same Betadine brown color ointment which we apply on cuts, etc., or is there any specific for this private part? How to apply the ointment? For how long? Also, should I wash with water or keep it dry for long? In the video, I also have shown some pus-filled pimples below stomach in pubic hair region that occurs occasionally. I never trimmed pubic hair is it because of that? Is it advised to trim the pubic hair? Also, can you suggest an antifungal shampoo for public hair? My head is very sensitive to touch so it pains on the touch of cloth or hand. Is it normal? How can it be fixed? Is there any tablet I can take to cure this issue like Fusys 50 mg tablet?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have seen your attachment. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The foreskin opening appears to be slightly narrow due to which you are not able to pull up the foreskin easily. This may need some lubrication like KY jelly or coconut oil before pulling up the skin. The boils in the pubic area are due to skin infection. Apply Soframycin (Framycetin) or T-bact (Mupirocin) cream twice daily and take Cefuroxime 500 mg twice daily for five days. This would heal the boils. Avoid shaving the pubic hair, just trim with hair clipper or scissors. Penis head is always very sensitive. I would suggest you get your blood sugar checked once. Sometimes raised blood sugar can cause skin infections.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
Is it because of the foreskin and not any infection on the head or glans? Still, Can I apply Soframycin or Betadine on head/glans to cure any infection? How to apply it? Do I wash it with water after applying? And how much to apply? I am just curious about this as this started only after having oral sex last time, so I am worried there might be infection. Also, can I take Fusys 50 mg tablet? Also, what should I do in the future to prevent this?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
It does not look like an infection to me. Avoid applying Betadine to this area as the skin is thin and sensitive. If you wish you can apply Soframycin or plain Nivea cream to keep the skin moisturized. If there is a repeated problem in the foreskin, best would be to go for circumcision. It is minor surgery to remove the narrow foreskin.
