Posted on Wed, 19 Apr 2017

Question: Hi, I managed to get hand sanitiser on my penis which caused intense pain around the bell end base and near the urethra entrance. Immediately washed off but too late, skin on penis looked dry.
It is day 2 now and the pain has subdued but still there. Please suggest options to relieve discomfort?
Thank you XXXXXXX

Based on what you have stated you seem to have sustained chemical burn of the shaft of the penis and external meatus .

wash your genitals with warm water and apply Calamine Lotion over entire penis thrice daily .

It should get cured within 2-3 days .

Taking antibiotic like Norfloxacin twice daily will help to prevent infection .
