Brief Answer:
"contact irritant dermatitis"; No STDs

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

After reading your query and analyzing the complete situation most important thing to tell you is that you have developed "contact irritant dermatitis" due to application of hair remover cream.

Let me explain you elaborately.

The problem of "contact irritant dermatitis" due to application of hair remover cream is because of irritant nature of of the contents of hair remover cream. One should never use it directly or indirectly over around the penile skin or scrotal skin. The penile and scrotal skin is the most thinnest skin in the body and is such a soft and thin skin that even the blood vessels are visible sometimes from our naked eye.

Because of the irritant nature of hair remover cream you developed an allergic phenomenon and so there was redness at the local area. It cause irritaion as well as buring sensationwith mild vesicles due to denudation of the superficial skin.

You are lucky enough to not to get any serious harm due to hair remover cream. I personally suggest you to not to use any product directly over penile skin as it can cause irritation and other problems.

Now for the remedy part. Do cold water compressions for 3-4 times a day. Take a small cotton towel soaked in cold water and apply for 5 minutes each over the affected area. If I were your treating dermatologist then would have suggested to apply hydrocortisone or fluticasone cream over the affected area for two times in a day for 4-5 days. Apply it in a very thin layer so that it should not be visible to naked eye.

For any burning or irritation sensation I would have preferred loratadine or levocetrizine for 1-2 times a day.

Avoid contact for next couple of days. After that also you do not put more friction over the affected area to avoid further redness.

Do not worry you will be alright in next 4-5 days.

Regarding the possibility of contracting the sexually transmitted disease-It is quite unlikely as you were wearing a condom so major of sexually transmitted disease possibility is out. You can get simple boils or follicultis or minor viral infection if at all but not any major problem. So just relax yourself and do take care next time.

I hope these information's will help you. If you have further queries I will be happy to help.

"Wish you good health"
