Had Sex And Having Red Spots On Penis. Took Treatment. Still Reoccurring. What Is It?

Posted on Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Question: The last 3 times my wife and I had sex, I have red spots on my penis, just below the head of the penis. The doctor gave my an ointment the first time and it went away, but now it happens after each time we have sex. What is it?

Details required

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query.

There are two possibilities of this condition,

1.Condom allergy, if you are using a condom.
2.Allergy to any particular product which your partner is using.
I can suggest you medication.
However I would like to see a photograph of the lesion.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and I will be able to help you better.
Please upload a photograph.

Also I would like to know the following things.
1. Within how many days of sex, it appears?
2. For how many days it remains?
3. Is there any pain or itch ?

waiting for your response.
Thank you

Dear Dr XXXXXXX
I have uploaded a photo. Hope you received it. I used the ointment yesterday and today, so the spots are already almost clear. But maybe you can still see a little bit. Small red spots in the area under the foreskin, and one small lesion. We had sex on Monday and the symptoms appeared by Tuesday evening (24 hrs) - I used the ointment Tuesday and Wednesday, so the symptoms are almost gone now... But it seems it recurs every time we have sex. I haven't noticed an itch or any pain.
Sorry. I forgot to answer your question about allergies. No,. we do not use condoms; and no, I do not have any (known) allergies.

Hello,
Thanks for the photograph.
Sorry for replying late.
Dont worry it is just an allergy.
Definitely it is not an infection, as infections take at least 5 to 6 days to manifest.
May be you are developing allergy to vaginal fluid.
Its not a matter of much concern.
Just apply the ointment you will be fine.
May be you can try once with condom and see whether you develop the lesions or not.
Thank you
