My boyfriend and I are both 23 and have both been sexually active since we met over 5 years ago, neither one of us with anyone else. We are also extremely hygienic. The problem is we were having sex and q while in he complained that his penis hurt, we stopped and looked and the top of the foreskin was bright red and swollen to the point that it looked like a tomato. He immediately cleaned it and some of the swelling went down and we put lotion on it to the same affect. It lasted about a week and he refused to go to the hospital every day saying it was getting better. It did eventually go away completely, that was about 2 years ago. And yesterday the same situation happened again. So my first question is what causes such a problem? And for future reference is it something that requires immediate medical attention? If so in the meantime of getting him to the hospital what can we do to alleviate pain.
Could be a lot of things. Irritation from lack of lubrication, allergic reaction, or even an infection.
He should see a dermatologist. It's the only way to be 100% clear.
