Do I Have Allergic Reaction To Aquaphor If I Have Small Cuts On Penis?

Small cuts on my penis.?I'm a 29 year old circumcised male. I am sexually active with 1 female, I'm sure neither of us have STDs. Recently a noticed a small circle shaped cut on my penis, about a week ago. Today there are now 4 circle sized cuts one directly under the head is a lot bigger than others. Not of the lacerations bleed, nor puss, they just look like open cuts. No burning sensation when I urinate, only time the cuts hurt is when they are wet. My girlfriend uses Aquaphor in her vagina. I think it could be an allergic reaction but alot of the online forums say use Aquaphor for the very condition I'm complaining about. I'm not ruling the allergic reaction out but could it possibly be anything else? IM VERY SCARED.

First of Aquaphor is not meant for use in vagina. From the history given by you, your condition is STD. But this is not serious and does occur in normal circumstances even in monogamous people/ couple. The reason can be vaginal infection transmitted on your part during intercourse, or due to no proper cleaning after intercourse. A course of antibiotics , metrogyl and antifungal tablet with consultation of our Physician or Gynecologist to be taken by both of you at the same time and abstinence (means no sexual contact) for about 10 days should solve your problem.
