Skin Irritation At the Tip of Penis Posted: 09-11-05 21:41pm
I was hoping that someone would have any
advice on this problem that I have.
About 3 months ago I had unprotected oral
sex. The day after, I noticed a slight
burning feeling and some discomfort at the
tip of the penis. Since then, these
symptoms have remained. The the symptoms
are very slight, but I notice that
something is different. There is also a
very slight red rash at the tip, which
seems to look worse after getting out of
the shower. I went to 3 different
doctors, who did std tests and everything
checked out fine. I know that there is
something wrong; it is just that it is not
being detected from these std tests.
Does anyone know of any skin rashes that
can be transferred from oral sex?
I would appreciate any info that anyone
might have on this issue.
Thanks!

Yeast or bacterial infection, maybe a
soap, or even your underwear you are using
could be irritating the area.

Thanks for the reply. I don't think it
has anything to do with the soak that I
use, but I will look into that.
How would one cure a yeast/bacterial
infection? I forgot to mention that my
doctor prescribed me a medication for
basic std's that I took for a week. I
forgot the actual name. Think it was
levaquin. It didn't help at all.

For a yeast infection, they would give you
a antifungal drug like lamisil (sp?) and
for the bacterial infection or a std
caused by a bacteria some type of
antibiotic. It could also be a uti but
there usually caused by bacteria so the
antibiotic would clear it up. But some
things down there dosnt matter what sex
you are and the drug; they can be a health
forum to get rid of!
Did you take your drug all the way
through? If you didn't even though it may
have seemed better some of the little bugs
still survived. Most bacteria multiply
every 15 min so emagine you killed off
most of the bacteria you still have
like100 that survived in just a matter
of hours they can build up again causing
the infection to just keep coming back!!
And the more times you keep taking it and
don't finish it, your just giving the
bacteria a chance to become resistant to
it!

I am not a medical personnel, but I read
this on the net:
you can soak your penis in hydrogen
peroxide solution (3%). You can do this
daily for 5 - 10 minutes until your
symptoms clear up. Then you should do it
at least once a month to keep bacteria
from accumulating. You can soak by
sticking your penis in a glass of the
solution. If the full strength is too
much for you dilute it with water. If
this doesn't appeal to you at all you can
apply hydrogen peroxide a few times a day
with sterile cotton balls.
Here is the link that talks about how
hydrogen peroxide has shown to kill many
forms of sexually transmitted bacteria.
You will see it is mainly about a vaginal
wash for women, but the same principal
applies to men:
