What Causes Recurrent Blisters On Penis While Treating Dyshidrotic Eczema?

default
Posted on Mon, 28 Dec 2015
Question: Hi, about 9 months ago I noticed a couple of small tiny blisters on my pubic area. I treated with some eczema cream I had and it cleared up in a week. A few months later the same thing showed up on the penis shaft. Again I popped and treated with cream. This week I have two small patches of these tiny blisters on the shaft and the area is getting very inflamed and made One sore ( which I contribute to wearing jeans and working).

I have have only been with one woman for the past 3 years and very faithful as well as she. I have been diagnosed with Dyshidrotic eczema which I'm always fighting.

Brief Answer:
meet your physician , avoid sexual contact , maintain adequate hygiene

Detailed Answer:
Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understands your health concerns.
Is your partner have any genital tract infection? Do you have any burning micturation or discharge from urethra? is there any lymph node swelling in groin?
Based upon the history , it is difficult to comment. You really need to be examined by a physician before a reasoned conclusion can be drawn.
As far as dishidrotic eczema is concerned, it mostly involves hands and feet and is not associated with these blisters.
It is most probably a viral infection and may have got secondary bacterial component. If i am your attending physician i will definitely advise a course of antibiotics from Quinolones group, to prevent any secondary bacterial infection. Viral infection get heal on its own in a week time. I will not advise any topical cream for it without actual examining. it would be better if you send me the pictures of blisters so that best management can be done for you.
Meanwhile stay calm and maintain adequate hygiene and avoid any sexual contact till blisters heal up. Meet your physician.
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask.

Welcome at HCM
i really appreciate your follow up.
It would be better if you send me the pictures of blister so that more proper advise can be given.
Since there is no history of burning micturation and discharge, so it probably excludes urinary tract infection.
But still there is need to take antibiotics. If I am your attending physician I will advise you from Quinolones group particularly moxifloxacin for five days. I can't advise clobetasol ointment without actually seeing the blisters..
Hope your query is addressed, if you still have any feel free to ask.
