Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Frequent Urination And Red Rash On Foreskin After Taking Antibiotics?
I am a 59 year old male--recently after taking some antibiotics--I noticed frequent urination. Then I noticed a red rash on the inside of the foreskin of my penis. Then large clear blisters filled with clear liquid appeared under the foreskin and on the head of my penis and some swelling in the skin near the head of my penis occured. This has been ongoing for a couple of days---I have begun using some Monistat7 that my wife keeps for yeast infection and the itching and soreness seems to be subsiding as well as the swelling. Should I be overly concerned--half inch clear blisters on the penis can prove unsettling!
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction of the antibiotics. I recommend using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest to consult your doctor about an alternative treatment for the frequent urination.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
