Redness around foreskin

I have a small red patch on my foreskin.I have been using corticosteroid for some other infection that I used for a long period.Dermatologist say that is the cause as the foreskin has thinned in that location causing tear whenever there is masturbation or sexual acitivity or even due to hard erection.ugary eating worsens the redness.Dr wants to rule out any other conditions.Currently suggested lamisil and Hyalonic acid cream to keep it moist.Dr adviced complete no sex,no masturbation for 2 weeks.I am keeping finger crossed.

My previous boyfriend had this condition - I agree its tied to pancreatic condition -onset of diabetes because pancreas which is on the left under the rib cage was HARD as a ROCK he was a heavy drunker in denial Im a body therapist -seems it CNS is on edge from working to hard to REGULATE blood sex is reason its just warning that its BLOOD related ALOT of SUBSTANCES A human FAVORS is toxic - $50 blood test SCREEN (have it on groupon and living social occasionally) for allergies and intolerances is another good route to take -after condition resolves you will need to boost the liver and kidney functioning to keep it at bay nice that MEN are open to discuss and dialogue <-------find solution instead of BEING BLIND long term result for my ex-boyfriend in denial is he will be blind

I've had this issue (red ring around foreskin and tip). Rub extra virgin coconut oil on the spots that are red/tender a few times a day. Coconut oil is a natural antiviral/antifungal and helps clear this stuff up fast. Put coconut oil on regularly at sign of first symptoms. It will help. Also.. To the dude who recommended we get "the chop" don't do it! foreskin is there for a reason. Circumcision is a cultural practice, not a medical one. Dread natty dread nat!

hey dude ive had a yeast infection for a while now and recently got perscribed Adiclair pills. They seem to be working pretty well but im still in the early days of treatment as you have to take them for over 3 months increasing the dosage every week. dont know if you have tried em but just thought id let you know incase you hadnt... cus yeast infection suck major penis

Yea man I've had a similar issue in the past.  The only thing that worked for me was a penis health creme.  These are so much better than regular creams and lotions because they are made specifically for the penis.  Get one containing Vitamins A, E and D and you should get some relief in a few days.  Hope this helps.

Hello, I have been working on a cure using a combination of raw uncooked lemon, Epsom salts vineager/apple cider vineager. heat by blow dryer and coconut oil.

First what I will do is dip my penis in a mixture of liquefied Epsom salts, hot water, raw lemon and vineager for 27 minutes.

This is supposed to be done in a bath tub and im not sure how long this is supposed to be done but I don't have a tub so I use a jar large enough yet filled enough to not splash everywhere(some inevitably gets in)

I do this part 3 times a day.

Im a little sketchy on what all three do but heres what they do, each ingredient compliments the other, doing what the other cant do. Epsom salts suck out the infection, vineager does the same and lemon when taken orally in water regulates the bodies PH into a healthy normal state, so imagine what raw lemon juice does.

Do not listen to anyone who doesn't say Epsom salts don't work, this is used for sucking infections out of fingers so yes it can work for this..

In the jar, the water I use is hot as I can stand just to keep it hotter longer.

-EACH morning I ingest 3 teaspoons of coconut oil. coconut oil has antiseptic qualities. if this is needed in the equation internally, this means this also takes place in the body when the infection does, in the bladder.

Furthermore, the coconut oil does something none of those things can do- while it cant cure an infection of the penis(unless huge quantities are taken perhaps) it STABALIZES the penis against the infection.

What I mean by this is while your not soaking your body/penis in that mixture, having raw lemon, coconut oil and a little Epsom salts squirted on your penis the rest of the day keeps the infection from spreading allowing the soaking times you engage in to suck and suck the infection out giving you control you never had before.

So just to be clear- heres what I do exactly.

1 Each morning, take 3 teaspoons of coconut oil a day. I do it in one sitting(sometimes a little more later on)

2.Choosing times right after I pee, I dip my penis in a mixture of Epsom salts, raw lemon juice and apple cider or normal vineager. im going to try to avoid the vineager and see if that helps in this, 3 times a day.

Epsom salts draw out the infection(note that this is an infection which means it has to be treated as one) SOOTHES your penis, and heals it and every bit of damage although im finding the foreskin the only thing that is the most stubborn in all this.

3. This is similar to a foot fungus. dry your genitals for 6 minutes with a blow drier to make the infection unable to grow on the top making sure to get every angle you can.

4. Your penis has residue leftover from the dip-mixture(if you use a jar or don't take a shower right after) so to kill the residue-

in one of those pasta drainers in a pot of water, put a glass bowl in the drainer and put some cocnut oil into it, and heat up the water long enough until the coconut oil is warm-hot. if your going to put lemon juice in it while its heating, put some raw juice on your penis along with this heated mixture using a dropper to squirt both in the penis-mouth, and everywhere inside you can.

Once you do this, rub a little with a finger on the outside on every side you can.

The coconut oil sort of stuns the infection from doing anything.

-do this three times a day too with the cocnut oil.

-Take a probiotic pill once or twice a day. thousands of live healthy bacteria which are anti penis infection. yogurt does this too but its very expensive compared to the chewable pill(I take chewable anyway)

-I haven't noticed anything very different, but try to ingest lemon water once a day too. it balances your PH, made me feel great and also does clean out the bladder.

- those creams don't do sh*t, that doctors recommend. in fact at this point and from what ive heard from their lips and seen them do, Im convinced that some doctors lie about this intentionally to get people to buy those stupid ass creams.

There is good reason for this. we know these types in modern times are often all about the money more than anything having to do with a cure, and that's really no different here. being cured of this means theres no need or use for these people in this situation and so no money goes to them.


- Blow dry your genitals for 8 minutes with a steady flow of the heat on hot because this both kills the infection after soaks, when you've come out of a shower, and someone mentioned to do this 5 times a day.

Its not a cure however, as the infection often needs to be dealt with by more and or internally to kill the infection.



- If theres any chance to make this work, you cant stop this regiment everyday or itl all be for nothing and the infection will come right back. BUT-


-There is good news. so far, my experiment cultivated from every corner of the internet from other people seems to actually be slowly making the white-stuff retract from the head on my penis. shrinking towards the foreskin. THIS is good news! its doing it slowly, but this means that if this goes away completely, it might mean ive cured it when its all gone.

The white stuff is vanishing- and where it was, sort of light-brown is being left behind as if the parts where it was infected are withering away of infection.

So far.. all I can say is this. this very well might be the cure and is showing slow results because a penis membrane isn't some infected finger but much more complicated-

However, I have shared the results of my research to overcome this struggle. its not perfected yet but you really should give this a try and I will release this in a viral way for everyone should it work.

I wont say ''cheers'' because it pisses me off to no end when other people with only half invested research say that c**p at the end of their filler that isn't complete-

Work hard though. and you will regain hope. and then one way or another- the cure!!

Might be time to try a moisturizer made for the penis. Man1 Man Oil has Shea butter and vitamin E in it. Also, if it is a dermatological reaction to something, try taking things out of your routine one at a time like soap, detergent, etc. to see if something is causing irritation.

This is not true. I'm past the age of having sex and do not masturbate. I've no idea how this problem occurred with me but I believe it's an imbalance of chemicals that can cause it and it is probably a yeast type infection that appears to be difficult to eradicate. I've tried all sorts of creams, salt dip etc and none seem to work. If I don't use creams then small tears appear on the skin and are very sore. Yet to find a doctor who knows what this really is and what can cure it.

So anybody have a clue what this is? I assume we are all describing the same thing pretty much. I've had rings in the past but mainly the redness is on the left of my foreskin. I also develop white discharge (smegma?) within a couple of days when I never used to before this issue. It is itchy and sore throughout the whole day, had it for 2 years now.

Pain during sex even with lubrication... sex without lube is impossible due to the pain. This all started when I lost my virginity to my girlfriend, not sure if she gave me an infection or if my foreskin was always destined for this when I first started having sex.

Reluctant to go to the doctor as I doubt he's going to provide me with anything useful and at this point would rather focus on my own research.

try Vagisil to put on it

Have you found out what this was I've the same problem and I'm sh**ting bricks

Sounds like most of you have a condition called Balanitis. Usually nothing to worry about, easy to treat, common to reoccur. Hope this helps.

Hi, I have the same problem with redness and sore under the head of penis after masturbation or intercourse. The doctor gave me a cream, it helps with the soreness and redness..until I have sex again....can get no solid answers...this started out of the blue about three months ago...using a steroid cream can help...but have to be careful on how often used

This has happened to me and its a red ring all around and can be painful after activity's what stops it and makes it feel normal and better again

I had the same thing and the steroid creams didn't touch it. Later after seeing a dermatologist several times and trying different creams like Nystatin that may have helped but never solved I asked her for a prescription for Fluconazole. It went away within a week. I should all that I never had pain or rawness, just red on my penis and the doctor said I had some coming on my face around my eyes.
After a year I believe it is coming back and I have made some changes to my grooming habits. My wife trimmed my pubic hair much shorter, and I started to shower differently. Now I wet my body down in the shower and turn the water off while I lather up all over thoroughly. Then I rinse off completely and dry totally. I do have a one-year body scan coming up soon and hope I can get some more Fluconazole as that really worked.
