I applied Oxistat, an anti-fungal cream, to the head of my penis and seems like my skin had a bad chemical reaction to Oxistat. Right now, my penis skin has become very loose and wrinkled.
Will the skin revert back to the original, normal condition by itself or do I need to do anything to help restore my skin back to normal?
I have been applying Vanicream moisturizer once a day.
Thank you very much for your help.

 Hello,
You should not sustain any long-term effects from an antifungal cream. If you had an allergic reaction you may benefit from an oral antihistamine or hydrocortisone cream. I have never heard of this medication doing permanent damage and short-term problems would be very rare.
Best wishes.

Dear Debbie,
Thank you very much for your response. It seems like Oxistat has definitely damaged my skin, as it is apparent that the area which I applied Oxistat has turned into a different color and is severely wrinkled. Also, Oxistat has loosened the skin as well. What's worse is that by fiddling around with it, I have made the loosened skin area even wider. I am really worried right now. I really hope that my skin can be restored back to normal. Will the loosened skin eventually revert back to normal?
Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it.

All I can say is this is not a reported side effect of this medication. During cllinical trials, ALL effects are reported, whether or not they are caused by the drug. Therefore, if someone had this response, it would be listed on the drug info sheet. Check with your pharmacist or read the package insert to see if this has ever been reported. I am not aware of this problem at all. There is a place to report unusual reactions to medications. Visit the FDA MedWatch website http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/report/cons ... nsumer.htm or call 1-800-FDA-1088. I suspect your response is temporary but if you are worried, see a urologist.
Good luck.

Dear Debbie,
I have seen the Urologist and he didn't think it is a big deal. However, Oxistat has definitely made my skin severely wrinkled and loose right now.
Do you know if cosmetic surgery can be performed on the penis head to perhaps restore my skin to the way it was before?
Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it.
