Q: Red Rashlike Irritation On Penis--reaction to Condom?
asked by: ChrisDawg88 on December 14th, 2007

I'm 19, and I recently lost my virginity. I've had sex twice so far, the first time we didn't use a condom at all, the second time we tried several times to get it on but it didn't fit and kept slipping off with the movement of my foreskin (I am uncircumcised) so we didn't end up using it then either. Both times were very brief and I pulled out. About a day and a half after the second time I awoke and noticed a red irritation on the head and around the upper shaft of my penis. It looks something like a rash, little red dots up close and a general redness from far away. It doesn't really itch, but it has become sensitive and somewhat painful to touch. However, there is nothing on the outside of my foreskin, or around the base. She assured me, and I trust her, that she doesn't have any STDs. But when I saw this I panicked and my first thought was genital warts. Is this a reaction to the condom, being that it wasn't irritated after the first time we did it(when we didn't use one at all?) Any help would be greatly apprecciated.

It could have very well been a reaction to the condom. I found one instance of this online, with the same type of rash that you described. If you used a condom with some type of spermacide in it, then you may be having some type of reaction to that. Or it could just be a reaction to friction that you are not used to, and the whole ordeal with the condom, despite it having spermacide or not. Try using moisturizing lotions that you know will not irritate your penis any further. I hear Lupiderm is a good choice. I would go see a doctor if it gets worse or doesn't get better at all.

Please note that I probably don't know what I'm talking about and I am just stating my opinion. Don't take anything I say too close to heart because I do not want to be spreading false information.
