Hello,
Thank you for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
Yes, it does seem related to the friction, as the skin also keeps getting dry with ageing. However, if you do have a blister, will you be able to upload an image for me to review if it is infected?
Normally, using enough oil based lubricant should suffice. In some cases, the wound takes a longer time to heal, if there is any history of T2DM.
An image will be helpful,
Awaiting your reply,
Regards.
Patient replied :
It does not look infected and has not started to bleed. It has not broken skin although there is a tiny spot that looks like it is about to. What kind of ointment should I use? And now that this is starting to happen, should I expect it to be a recurring problem long term?
Hello,
Thank you for your follow-up.
Although it can't be confirmed only by looking at the picture, there seems to be some amount of fungal infection around the glans penis, and that can lead to the sore kind of a look.
I will advise you to apply Clotrimazole powder/ ointment and Mupirocin ointment twice daily to be applied in 30-minute intervals.
You can also confirm the diagnosis by getting it physically examined by your dermatologist.
Fungal infection can cause excessive dryness leading to such blisters.
Please feel free to discuss further,
Regards.
