Wound on the Tip of My Penis Continues to Scab and Peel...
Posted: 03-23-06 13:07pm

Ok recently I went on Clarus (an alternate production of Accutane) perscribed by my doctor. If you don't know, Accutane really dries out your system heavily and causes skin sheding among other side effects. Anyhow, over the last week or so, I had a reaction on my face that caused a rash, just before then, my penis had small amounts of blood in it just as I urinated. There was no blood in the urine, it was just that the tip of my penis, in my urethra is in my guess, slightly cut from whatever reason, and bled a little causing minor scabbing around the tip of the penis.

It has developped that now there is scabbing going on in order to heal, but the problem is, it's almost sealing the hole of my penis, making it difficult to urinate as I am constantly trying to re-open the hole. I think the issue is, that everytime I peel the scab, a bigger one comes in each time. I'm not sure if there is medication I can use in order to fix this (even a simple cut medication), but it's getting annoying, and I would like to identify it before it may potentially become a problem (sealed completely).

I was worried that perhaps it could be sexually related, but I haven't had sex in 6 weeks, in which I wore protection each time with that woman. I've only ever had unprotected sex twice with the same girl, but that was 11 months ago and she had only had sex with one other guy prior to me (i know I was an fool for doing it in the first place)...

I don't believe it to be STD related, I just think the tip of my penis may have a small cut or tear in it, and with the small amounts of blood, it's scabbing, and it almost sealed shut.

I'm giving a urinanalysis tomorrow, and I've had bloodwork done for the accutane process prior to a couple of days ago, so I'd imagine if there was any kind of serious problems, it would have been picked up in the blood sample.

Is there some kind of medication I can put on it to stop the scabbing?

If the wound on the tip of your penis doesn’t heal in two weeks, you can proceed to your doctor's office and/or (probably) to an urologist or dermatovenerologist for further examinations.
