Question: Sore on the foreskin
| Yingling
- Wed Jan 03, 2007 3:04 pm |
Hi, I am a 19 yr old Male and I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend a few days ago. We were both tested for all STDs and HIV before this and we both showed up negative for everything. Well about two days ago I masturbated and notice that my foreskin was really red. The skin seems to be very dry and flakey on the foreskin. I masturbated a few times after that. It does not hurt unless I touch it. The skin is red and raised, and it feels kinda rawI don't know if this is a STD or because I am masturbating to much and my skin is dry. But I got a really bad cold around the same time this all started to happen so that is what really kinda making me wonder.
Any help would would be great thank you.

 Hello,
Causes of your complaint include:
- Traumatic injury due to very active intercourse or masturbation especially when enough lubrication is absent may cause the damage of the skin of the penis.
-Contact Dermatitis occurs due to skin contact with a substance that causes an allergic reaction (allergic contact Dermatitis)
or with an irritant substances (irritant contact Dermatitis).
The inflammation usually subsides spontaneously, but avoiding exposure to any irritant is important.
You may use only bland lotions, like moisturizing lotions, till you consult your docotr.
Direct clinical examination is essential.
Best regards.
