Patient: 8 days ago, I had protected sex and days later have a slight burning sensation and redness on my sac below my penis. This has never happened before. I have been living in a very humid climate the last two weeks....Cartagena, Colombia. Is this skin irritation a threat to future women I have sex with? Doctor: Hi, I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns. Your actual problems of:- burning sensation- redness in the sac below your penisstarted 8 days after protected sex while living in a very humid climate the last 2 weeks are indicating a local irritation/infection of your genitalia. A photo of the affected area would be of great help. If no painful urination or other urinary problems, I advise to :- keep your genitalia well clean (wash with warm water and soap)- apply clotrimazole cream locallyIf no improvement, then, dermatologist to consult as you might need prescription medicines. Wish fast recovery.
