Friction burn on penis from sex, won't heal

I'm uncircumcised and celibate and can't retract my foreskin when erect. I've had a friction sore on the head about the diameter of a pea for about 6 months. I can best describe it as a very mild but very noticeable depression/crater on the head of my penis. Definitely wasn't an STD because I've actually been celibate for 12 years. Never had this before in my 38 years. Problem was the sore wasn't healing because the head is always moist underneath the foreskin so even without masturbating the sore is still there and will still bleed when I wash the head in the shower. Extremely frustrating. I tried 1% clotrimazole, Vaseline, talcum powder, liquid plaster, E45 and washing the head daily, nothing worked. Sore wasn't getting worse but wasn't healing either. I read articles about the only cure would be circumcision which obviously scared the sh*t out of me.

Then I stumbled across an article about the healing properties of honey and to my relief the wound is healing. The crater is reducing. No more bleeding. I apply premium honey twice a day, after I shower and before I go to sleep. I'm using orino for those who are interested. Just happened to have it in the cupboard.

So hopefully I'm recovering.

And I'm definitely cutting down on the porn. Learnt my lesson. This is the worst thing to date that's ever happened to my penis.

Also wanted to add I tried sudocrem and that too didn't work. Just made a hell of a mess.

Have had the same problem for about a year. Found the solution for myself so maybe it will work for you guys too. Got some diaper rash ointment (Desitin) and have used it for about 1 week. It's already healed although the spot is still a little discolored. Hope this helps!

Found the solution that worked for me for the same problem. Had this going on for about 1 year and tried all types of medicines. Nothing worked until I tried using diaper rash ointment. (Desitin) In less than 1 week the split/wound had healed and I have tested it out a couple times since with no problems. Will still use for a little while longer but it has worked for me. FYI it will cause a little white staining in your undies, but totally worth it in my mind. Hope this helps.

Omg I have the exact same thing happening to me :(

Thanks going to get some tomorrow

Another Good solution I found. Try some anti-bacterial hand wash every day for a week. Even after the first time you notice a difference.

My penis completely fell off!!

Just playing. But i dont know what to do amd its pretty annoying man.

Try using Tea Tree Oil!! That's good for skin problems, if the smell don't bother you!!

Same problem here. Annoying.

Guys, I have read all of these post because I was dealing with the same issues. I was getting very worried because it would not heal and got worse. The whole side of my head and on to the shaft was very red and irritated. I tried everything on here that you all posted for over a month and nothing would work. Today is a good day. I found the cure!!! My wife went to Mexico and bought a little tube of creme that you can’t buy here without a prescription. It cleared me up within 4 days. No discoloration or anything like that. Back to normal. If you’re dealing with these same issues, please try it. The creme is called “ Vitacilina”. I know what all of you have gone through. Trust me it works! Good luck to all of you.

LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY! I rarely ever post on this thread or any for that matter but I had this problem and TRUST ME it sucked so I understand. If you want to listen to all the nonsense and go through all these trial and errors with the same problem never healing then go ahead but if not then listen to me now. I tried all that "Dr Google" suggested and NOTHING otc worked, if you want this to go away for good you have to go see a dermatologist which is what I did. Suck it up go there show him your problem and hell write a prescription that you need. I'm not kidding, I had friction burn from a condom plain and simple that would not heal for at least 4 months and after applying what the doctor gave me, it was clearing up w/in days, basically a miracle! theres no better feeling and things are better than ever. Heres the 2 ointments I was prescribed, mometasone Furoate 0.1% Mupirocin 2% THATS IT! I applied once in morning / once before bed twice a day and it was gone in a week, I couldnt believe it! Im not trying to sell you anything or promote anything im just saying go to a dermatologist if you want this gone and get back to enjoying life again.

I can highly recommend coconut oil. Use it liberally before penetration. It is anti-bacterial and from my experience prevents the problem in the first place as it reduces friction even if your lady's p***y is very wet. Before coconut oil, I would become sore after about 10 minutes. Now I can penetrate her with long deep strokes for 15 minutes or more multiple days in a row without any irritation. I apply it after we finish as well. Also unlike the prescription medications or Vaseline, you can eat that p***y anytime you like during or after. Also, VERY CAREFULLY trim the hairs on your lower shaft as they can be sources of friction. I hope this helps as it made an amazing difference for me and my lady.

Classic case of chub rub. Rest the little guy you don't want it to fall off!

I was dealing with this problem for 3 months, but have finally gotten back to normal and healed up. Trust me, I would not be taking the time to post here unless this actually worked. First and foremost, rest and take a break to prevent further irritation. What I did is for a week I applied organic coconut oil multiple times throughout the day very generously. This significantly reduced inflammation and moisturized my skin. Then I switched to Penaten cream (read previous posts on here to learn more about it) for the next week. I applied this up to three times a day to keep the coating thick throughout my daily activities. This completely healed everything up the rest of the way and brought back the original skin texture while taking away remaining redness. It looks and feels exactly like before. Can’t recommend enough. I know this problem feels very isolating and frustrating, but don’t give up. There is hope!
