What Causes Redness On Shaft Of Penis Post Masturbation?
Question: I was masturbating to hard and the shaft of my penis got very red and wrinkled a day and half later is it something I should be freaking out about? I have been put neosporen on it as an abrasion has appeared.
Brief Answer:
Avoid masturbation or sex for 10 days
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
It looks like you had a rough session of masturbation and it led to a small abrasion in the shaft of your penis. You have done the right by applying neosporin ointment. This will prevent an infection from developing in the area.
If the penis has swollen up and there is severe pain then you must consult your doctors.
Please continue applying neosporin ointment twice a day and keep your genitals clean and wash the area twice a day with warm water to avoid any infection. Wear loose inner clothes. The abrasion might require some rest and you should avoid having sex or doing masturbation for about 10 days. Please do not worry and use lubrication jelly should you feel like masturbating when the wound on your penis shaft heals.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
