What Causes Red And Itchy Foreskin While Masturbating?
My girlfriend was recently diagnosed with PID and treated with doxycycline and metronidazole for two weeks. I was given a week long course of 200 mg/day of doxycycline. We were both tested for HIV, syphillis, gonnorea, chlamydia but all tests came back negative. We have not have sex for two weeks while the drugs were taking effect. I m now finding that when I masturbate, the head of my penis has red with small red bumps and my foreskin becomes red and itchy. I m also getting a clear discharge when erect. Please help!

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to yeast infection. This can be a side effect of antibiotic therapy. Anti fungal ointments like miconazole for local application will be helpful for this. It is available as over the counter in brands like daktarin. Avoid washing the area with soaps or irritants. You can use warm water or saline for this. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
