Question : Recently, after masturbating, I developed a blister on the left side of the head of my uncircumsized penis. The dead skin atop the blister disappeared, leaving a painful sore. I got tested for STDs, and the result was negative. I applied Vaseline, which had no effect. Then I used neosporin ointment and the blistered area has healed. But then I masturbated again and got a blister on the other side of the glans penis. This hasn't happened before when I have masturbated. What could be causing this, and what should I do to heal the existing wound and prevent it from recurring?

Hi XXXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in.
There are numerous causes of such symptoms. I will be in a better position to help you if can send me a picture of the blister. Please use the "Upload your reports" section on the right. we can then take it ahead from there. It is good to hear that you don't have any STD's.
In the meantime, I shall suggest you apply mupirocin ointment locally twice daily. Avoid the use of any soap.
Awaiting your reply.
Regards

Thank you for your quick response. I have uploaded a photo, as you suggested. The white area on the blister is a reflection of light and not the actual color of the area. I will start using mupirocin today.

Dear,

You seem to be having fungal balanitis. You need to apply antifungal cream and take oral antifungal drugs under the guidance of urologist for long standing cure of your disease.
