Itchy rash with red bumps above penis after vigorous sex Posted: 07-22-07 18:04pm
Lately, after vigorous sex with my
girlfriend, I that the next dayI have an
itchy rash with a few red bumps (nothing
that ever breaks the skin or oozes etc.)
above my penis. Nothing on my penis or
scrotum area, just the area right above
the base of my penis then narrowing as it
goes upward. It goes away after two days
or so and only appears again after sex. It
is worse when she is on top during sex. We
always use a condom - Lifestyle
lubricated. But it seems if I had some
kind of reaction to the condom or
lubricant, that it would appear on my
penis as well. Nothing there at all.
Could this be caused just by friction and
stubble in her pubic hair region? She has
very course hair and when she has not
trimmed lately, it is very noticeable?
When we get together we usually have sex
several times that night and again early
in the morning so that area gets quite a
workout. She has no symptoms of any kind.
Any ideas? I've been treating with 1%
hydrocortisone.

According to your description (itching
rash at the base of the penis and above in
the pubic area that shows up after sex),
you could be experiecning contact
dermatitis caused by physical irritation
(friction) from the sharp hairs of your
girlfriend’s pubic region.
Hydrocortisone balsam is useful in cases
of contact dermatitis. For a precise
diagnosis, you can follow up with a
dermatologist.
