I'm a twenty year old uncircumsized male.
I went camping about a month ago and wasnt
able to take a shower for four days. A
couple days after I got back I noticed a
red rash on the head of my penis. It
covers about 50% of the head. It seems to
come and go, sometimes very noticeable
after friction or washing, other times
barely at all - but theres always a little
redness. Occassionally several tiny red
dots show up as well, yet disappear after
a day or two. Theres no pain, it just
feels kinda irritated. I applied 1%
hydrocordazone ointment and have kept it
dry and clean but neither seem to help.
I've done research on the internet and it
sounds like it could be balantisis?. I
read that clotrimazole ointment may help..
Any information would be great, if it
doesn't go away i'll just see my doctor,
i'm not worried its an std, I just want it
to go away! Thanks...
