About 3 weeks ago I I decided to use baby oil as lubricant while masterbating, I assumed it would be safe. A couple days later I noticed there was 2 red patches on each side of the shaft, both itchy and kind of swollen. I havent put anything on the areas to treat them, because Im unsure what is safe and usafe for whatever it is I have. Im still washing it in the shower evryday and keeping the proper hygiene just to see if it goes way itself, but no luck yet. I do have some 1% hydrocortisone cream but would like to get an expert opinion on what should be used in this case.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Baby oil in masturbation never cause infections. It will be some unhygienic condition that makes you infected. Second thing never apply steroid cream without any obvious reason. Because steroid can decrease the infections, but it will increase gradually thereafter. I advise you should take the Azithromycin tablet 500 mg for three days. This will cure all the infections. Please avoid masturbation during the treatment period. Please maintain good local hygiene. This will help cure the infections. Continue washing the shaft with clean water. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
