I just can't win...got Chemical Burns on my penis

---

Ok, not sure if you have followed any of my previous threads... to recap those threads. I had molluscum contagiosum, Dr. got rid of that with some kind of blister causing Acid(but they're gone, finally!) Had what the Dr. and I sorta thought was a male yeast infection for over a year now, tried many many many different fungal creams to no avail.

So I recently on my own decided to apply Tolnaftate Anti-fungal cream with a triple-antibiotic containing Bacitracin, Polymyxin B sulfate and Neomycin Sulfate, low and behold within a day and a half the burning and minor rash on my penis-head that I had for over a year disappeared!. I used the cream for 3.5 days Well I started the cream mixture on the 2nd of December up until Wendsday morning, the 5th.

I noticed in the shower that morning upon pulling my foreskin back that it was a bit itchy, swollen and red. thought oh geez, now what! I goto the Dr's that evening and he says "yeah, the Neomycin can cause irritation, should heal within a week or so" That was that. Since then the swelling went down a good bit, but it's really, really red and starting to blister where it ate the "skin" away, the wounds ooze pus or some kind of liquid that is keeping it constantly wet. I dry it atleast six times a day(which is extremely painful to do). It's really hard to keep dry being uncircumcised prolonging the healing process.

My question is...is there another kind of cream or anything that can help it heal quickly?, or atleast keep it really dry so it can heal on its own? Are the blisters that are forming(I think going to scab, how does the healing process for penis head trauma work?

If you say "leave it alone" I did for a long-period of time and it solved nothing.

I think Radeckl might be referring to this:

Can't speak for him, though. Generally I'd try to just do what the Dr. says, if you feel it's getting worse (though you said that the swelling has gotten a lot better) see him again. I think that you should consult with him first before using a cream suggested here as it could possibly make things worse.

Edit: That oozing sounds typical of burns - I had very bad burns on both of my hands and my lower back, not all chemical, but they did "ooze". I kept them covered and eventually (took a few weeks) they healed. I know it must be a lot harder and more awkward considering the area of it. However, oozing can be a sign of infection.

Yeah, that would probably be in my best-interest. I just know he'll say leave it alone though; Sure I can do that... but if there's a quicker easier way to correct it, then I'll consider it and probably mention it to my Dr to see what he says.
Thanks for the reply. :smile:

It's just really hard for it to heal if it doesn't get air constantly, ya know. I'm not sure it can heal without drying, can it?

I did self-treat. I never mentioned it to him, but he was out of ideas to try other than send me to a urologist. Being that I'm uninsured that would be very cost-effective. I tried the creams which worked on the rash thingy I had, but resulted in something way worse.

Quote: is there another kind of cream or anything that can help it heal quickly?, i say liek was already said... do as doctor said. i'm here to tel you tho ther eis no quick healing with a dick. how does it work......... very painful and very slow. nomatter wut it;s really hard to get any relief. You just have to let it heal...and if it starts to look of feel worse go back to the dotors.ok... reading back i saw u said (someplace) that ur doc to ld u to leave it alone... wtf? dude i'd get a 2nd or 3ed oppinion. my doctor has never told me to leave it alone. i've been perscribbed meds and givin creams... have my own neo sprin on stand by and when i burned it i had to keep it bandaged, padded, and cream on it liek clock work.. and keep extremly clean. so..... ummmm.. yea your dotor saying do nothig to it sounds wired to me. oh...and something my dotor made clear and made sure i heard it loud and clear......... to NOT pop the blisters.

In another thread, I wasn't impressed by your doctor.There are healing creams available (without prescription) that can help sores to heal - perhaps you could ask at a pharmacy.

Go buy a two dollar aloe vera plant, cut a leaf off, and rub it on the burns. After that, follow your doc's advice carefully.
