What Causes Redness And Wrinkled Skin Around The Penis After Applying Permethrin?
Question: I was diagnised with scabies and was prescribed pemethrin, the night i put it on my penis got red and wrinkly ... the scaby bites have stopped and my penis head was all good so i masturbated today and my penis head went read and wrinkly again - i was masturbating even the day before i used the cream and this did not happen
Brief Answer:
Would eventually heal. Hope you were not too traumatic!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This usually happens when we do forceful and hard motions over the head of the penis. I encourage you to avoid touching, keep it clean and dry and avoid any masturbation until it is fully healed.
Hope I have answered your query. I wish you well.
