How Can Severe Swelling In The Penis Be Treated?

Hi doctor, I recently had an accident involving my penis. I had recently had a circumcision done and had healed well within the prescribed six weeks. I would casually apply lotion (Vaseline) on my penis to retain the moisture on the skin of the penis. On one unfortunate day, I happened to use vick s as a substitute without having read the packaging.. A painful experience I would not wish on my worst enemy.. My penis was swollen, particularly the corpus can( ). A few days later, I noticed that the spongiosum had become weak along the head of the penis, and the penis had become somewhat wobbly. There are no pains, but I suspect nerve damage to the spongiosum. Any advice on the kinds of treatment available?

Hi,

The issue is due to acute inflammation from the irritant action of Vicks. There is no nerve damage possible in this way.

Ice application with anti-inflammatory drugs will heal the issue very well.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel,
