Brief Answer:
Avoid self medications.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX and welcome to HCM.
Well i can understand your concern. Avoid using talcum or any ointment over the sore area on penis. They are irritants on the sensitive skin and might aggravate this condition. Instead I would suggest cleaning the area with betadine solution. Then apply neosporin ointment over that area twice daily. Till complete healing occurs. Avoid intercourse.

I am not sure if you can get betadine and neosporin over the counter. Perhaps you might. Check with your pharmacist before heading to a doctor for a prescription. That being said, visiting a doctor will benefit you as the doctor will advise oral antibiotic if needed.

Hope your doubt is cleared and feel free to contact me if needed.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the assistance. I'll keep you informed. Now can you help me with a prescription for Viagra? My local physician is taking issues one at a time and sadly not listening. There are times I need a little help. Would like 100mg tablets

Brief Answer:
contact local doctor for prescription drugs.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
Well, i can fully understand your concern. It would be unethical to prescribe you scheduled drugs without doing a direct physical examination. You'll have to get it from your local doctor.

I hope you understand the same.

Feel free to contact me. wishing you well.

Well my issue is I have discussed it many times. However my fp just pushed it off because he wanted to focus on my sugar numbers. And says I'll write one or call it in but "forgets". It's not that I haven't had exam or discussed it with my go it's just that its a low priority for him but important to me

Brief Answer:
local examination is essential.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
Well,i can understand your anxiety. I've seen the photograph. You should contact your doctor for a closer examination. Apparently, you have a severe local skin reaction over the penis. If your blood sugar is high, kindly mention that.
Hope you understand that, without a close check-up, it's difficult to give an expert opinion regarding treatment.As advised earlier, avoid intercourse, till skin appears normal. maintain good penile hygiene.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
