How Can Painful Skin Abrasion On The Penis Be Treated?

Hi, my boyfriend always sleeps with pillows nestled between him or he cuddles the pillows, and the other day, when he woke up, he noticed that his penis had developed a bad scratch/irritation on it.. we are both very low income, and can t afford to buy some cream/medicine for it, unless it s a prescription or something!! do you have any home remedies or prescription recommendations for this? It s hurting a lot, he tells me!!

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Most of the times, genital rashes are caused due to sexually transmitted disease. Does he have any discharge from his penis? Also is there pain and burning during urination? Do you also have any infection or the above mentioned symptoms on your genitals? Doxy would work but I suggest you can get him reviewed in a community or a government hospital if its not affordable to visit a private doctor.

I would also suggest maintain good hygiene, drink lots of water and increase your nutrition quotient.
Hope that helps!
