Could it also have been that my underwear were washed with a mixture of chlorine detergent?
bump
hello?
The skin on the penis right before the corona area is red and kinda swollen with slight mild pain, very irritated. Any idea why?
There is a possibility of a Fixed Drug Eruption(FDE) here. The sulfa part of the tablet is known to induce this. Do consult your doc.
I've looked it up and it does say that this drug causes FDE, but so does other over the counter drugs such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
I went to the doctor and he said it is irritated and gave me Triamcinolone Acetonide Topical. Its a steroid and antifungal cream. Hasnt been so effective though.
I also used Aldara on the same spot but that was over 2 months ago.
The current symptoms have been present for almost 2 weeks now.
How long can a FDE even last for?
Generally the eruption would heal in a couple of weeks leaving behind a browish rounded pigmentation.
