Water Blisters On Penis: Is it from toilet or dirty hands?

Why would you rinse from a toilet? Wo, that is a red flag!

Yes, come to think of it, I was idiotic. I thought flowing water was free from germs. But I don't really know where I got the germs from. It might be from the dirty hands. Surely enough, not from sexual activity. Here are the medications prescribed to me:

- potassium permanganate (cleanser)
- antibiotic (capsules)
- hydrocortisone (cream)

symptoms now:

- no puss (from the beginning)
- moist on certain parts (lesion)
- pain when urinating (i guess it is crawling towards urinary track)
- the area that was previously infected (healed) is darker than the normal skin

No improvement to date. After reading about yeast infection on the net, I start applying anti-fungal cream. I also bought athlete's foot powder from a local pharmacy.

Here is the comprehensive story..

Day 1 - went to public toilet. rinsed penis head with flowing water from the toilet bowl.

Day 2 - morning, noticed a drop of white discharge before urinating. went to a doctor. checked urine. test results came out negatives. doctor said the white discharge might be semen. however, i was given antibiotic and potassium citrate. went golfing in the afternoon, urinated at a bush near a fairway without washing hands first. hands were dirty with soggy soil.

Day 3 - went to a driving range. again, hands were dirty after touching the heads of golf clubs (played yesterday). urinated without washing hands. wore synthetic material underwear. after the range session, noticed water blisters. the blisters combined into one. Pinched the blisters. head of penis started becoming moist and sticky since then. applied baby powder.

Day 6 - went to another doctor. i was given another type of antibiotic, potassium permanganate (cleansing agent) and hydrocortisone (cream).


Day 11 - now, still no improvement.. i assume it is a yeast infection resulting from taking the first antibiotic (given on day 2). that antibiotic also killed the good bacteria that was supposed to control fungus. furthermore, i wore a synthetic material underwear (on day 3) which is known to promote yeast infection. trying anti-fungal cream and athlete's foot powder (containing tolnaftate & corn starch)

i don't know.. it's just my assumption. will update later.. peace !!

Update !!

Never ever use foot medication for other body parts. Athlete's foot powder worsened the condition. I stopped immediately on day 12 and went to another doctor.

Never make our own diagnosis unless we are doctors. Peace !!

Hi I have itchy & blisters (puss in them) on the head of my penis & it's been some time as I thought it was thrush from my wife & she also suffers from what I'm led to beleive is thrush I don't beleive it and would appreciate your help! Thanks

I had the same problem that you described. Two doctors couldn't figure out what it was until I was referred to a dermatologist. I had a herpes test and a bacterial culture and both came out negative. It was because I was taking an anti inflammatory drug and I had a reaction to it (like Advil). It's called "fixed drug eruption". It's not uncommon that it starts out on the penis.

Take a note of what drugs you're taking and what drugs you had been taking. Start cutting out the drugs and see if that helps.
