Question : I have been facing premature ejaculation for more than 2 years now, looks like the tip of penis skin is very sensitive, because when I use delay spray which contains Lidocaine & Isopropyl Alcohol I am able to last long. Wanted to check if there is any medicine or treatment to reduce the hypersensitivity on the penis skin top?
Brief Answer:
Hydrocortisone 1% cream can be applied
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome here,
In case of hypersensitivity, you need to avoid the use of all chemicals including soap and lidocaine/isopropyl alcohol cream or any other medicinal product on that part of skin. You may try natural methods like pause and squeeze technique or ayurvedic products like ashwagandha.
For reducing the current redness and itching of the skin, you can use Hydrocortisone 1% cream over the affected area twice a day for 3-5 days. It cannot be used for a long time continuously. It maybe used on and off.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks doctor for reviewing my issue and sharing suggestions. My penis top skin is very sensitive due to which I am not able to last long during sexual inter course with female partner, usually after penetration I can hold of ejaculation for few seconds only ( less than a minute ) hence need medicines to solve my premature ejaculation issue.
Brief Answer:
Yes some treatments can be tried
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
Thanks for reverting back with details that help me in understanding your issue better. Sensitivity in your case is not the redness of skin but it is due to nerves in the foreskin.
If only the foreskin is sensitive but the glans has normal sensitivity, then circumcision can be tried.
If the glans is also hypersensitive, then the numbing cream containing lidocaine or maybe clove oil (in low concentration) is one way. Use of thick layer of oil like coconut oil or use of condom may also help.
If you think that psychology is also playing a role, then relaxation techniques will help.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
