Question : Hello I have been using a bottle to pee in since having an operation. My mum without me knowing washed the bottle out with bleach. I just went to use it, put the tip of my penis in the bottle and felt a Stinging and burning, so I stopped. The feeling lasted for about 5-10 mins now it has stopped. I rinsed my penis/glans with water. What should I do? Will I be ok?
