Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help. I just got back from a water theme park which I rarely go to. About an hour before leaving, I felt my penis itching but left it alone, when I got home and looked at it, there's some sort of like red spots on the head around the opening which kind of hurt when touched. I've never had anything like this before and did not 'use' my penis in any way, shape or form during the day. I've never had sexual intercourse either so I'm pretty sure it's not an infection from that however, is it possible something caught on from the water or the air or something? Maybe to do with the chlorine in the water? Is it something serious or will it go away such as a swelling or something? It doesnt look like warts or a rash or anything like that but just sort of like red spots. I dont know what to do really, wrapped a tissue around it so it doesnt rub on clothes for now but can anyone help? Obviously too embarassed to ask anyone I know including a doctor. Thanks!

Back from Water Park - itchy and spotty penis?

Why be embarrassed to see a doctor? That's the only set you are gonna get, so take care of it.I doubt the chlorine would affect it, but it could just be irritated. Since you haven't had sex, you should have no problem with telling the truth to someone.

Hey GostNinja, thanks for the reply but I think I've realised what's happened. The netting from my Speedo shorts has evidently been pressed against my penis head for a long time thus created impression from the netting holes which I thought were 'red spots'. Though it still burns when touched, I'm sure it'll be fine in the morning. Might need to wear a condom next time for 'netting protection!' :P

that's y i like board shorts over just swim shorts. i hate stupid netting. i have a few trunks but i've cut the net crap out. i just wear boxerbriefs under them liek board short.i have got sick from a water park tho.(I know it was the park cuz every one that was with me at the park got sick too) i dk if it was in the water of food or wut but like a i got so sick. Was in bed for days and hugged the tolit for like a couple days. it took a couple days to get Strength up from being sick.

It's good you found out was wrong, heh maybe a condom or boxer-briefs would be good to wear under them or something lol. God I hate netting lol.

Unless you were capable of maintaining an erection the whole time you're at the water park (which most guys don't want to do), you'd probably have a difficult time keeping a condom on. It sounds good, but just isn't practical.

I think CR125 had the best idea. Either cut the netting out and wear your normal underwear under them, or buy board shorts and wear your normal underwear under them. Should take care of the problem.

It's probably an allergic reaction. I had the same issue with a hot tub and a pool at a gym I went to. Itchy near the groin, but also on my arms, chest. Then small bumps appeared. I noticed it disappeared like 4-5 days if I didnt go into the water. After sporadic "outbreaks" I went to my doctor. He said if they don't clean the water regularly enough, than a certain kind of bacteria can develop. The bacteria doesn't actually get "into" your skin, but it can cause an allergic reaction in some people. The reaction irrates you hair follicles, causing the bumps and itchiness. Just like all allergies, it doesn't affect all people, all of the time. I had asked him that, since I noticed everyone else didnt seem to be having a problem.
