Can Vaseline And Peroxide Be Used For Penile Burning Sensation?
I applied hand sanitizer to my penis and I think some got in the tip. Within hours of doing this and now still three days later there is a burning sensation every time I pee only at the tip and when I first start to pee, what can I do ? There is no dis charge that comes out unless I squeeze my penis and then tiny drips of clear pee come out but I have to squezze it for this to happen. Can I use Vaseline and Peroxide to help it ? Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What could have happened to your tip of penis is chemical injury caused by use of sanitizer.
Do not use Vaseline or peroxide.
Kindly wash the area with cold water using mild antiseptic solution like Savlon. After drying, apply hydrocortisone cream on it twice daily. Abstain from sexual activites till the lesions heal completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
