URGENT: Redness and swelling on penis—what could it be?

Joseph Ramirez51 said:Hey everyone, I could really use some advice here. I’ve been dealing with this for a few weeks now... basically, after having sex with my girlfriend, I started getting redness, dry skin, and then the skin above my testicles began peeling. Even my scrotum looks a bit red. My doctor recommended Monistat cream, so I used it for 10 days exactly as prescribed. My girlfriend used it too, though I should mention she didn't have any symptoms at all. Now, a couple of weeks later, the exact same thing is happening—redness, peeling skin, and a slight stinging sensation. It actually hurts too much to have sex right now. She doesn't have any issues, and when I apply the Monistat, things seem to improve temporarily. Please help, guys.

Don't sweat it... it'll clear up on its own eventually.😂😂😂

Well, just go back to the doctor again.

You've got a yeast infection. Go grab some more Monistat—get the combo pack with both the cream and the suppositories. For your girlfriend, just applying the cream isn't going to cut it; she really needs to use those suppositories too. You guys also need to totally hold off on sex while you're treating this. Honestly, you should both ask your doctor for a prescription for Diflucan. That pill is a total powerhouse, and when you pair it with the Monistat, it should knock this thing out for good.

Please don't go out and buy anything on your own; instead, return to your doctor and ask for a referral to a dermatologist... it seems necessary to have a specialist handle this kind of issue.
