Suggest Remedy For Redness On Penis

Hi, slightly embarrassing question. I am on Minoxidil for hair, and I am usually very good about washing my hands after. I washed my hands, but not very well, and I masturbated right after. However, I noticed the skin on the head of my penis became very red. I have been using hydrocortisone for about 4 days, and it has gone down a lot, but still a little red. Should I continue to use hydrocortisone or switch to a moisturizer? Thank you.

Hi,

You need to continue hydrocortisone cream or you can go for Betamethasone with gentamycin cream. Prevents infection too. If redness due to infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
