Hi bros, just wanna share with you guys a bad(somewhat) experience that I've had recently.
Long story short, on one of my regular pumps with my gf, I think I must have gotten to rough/hard on my pumping, and ended up with some sort of penile abrasion.
At first I thought it was smegma/dead skin underneath my foreskin during my shower, but as i tried to dislodge/rub it off, it started to hurt. My gf was worried it was some kinda STD when I showed it to her, and advised me to see a doctor.
But I shrugged it off and thought since it was an abrasion, it should heal on its own in time. Never have I been so wrong. The wound persisted for about 2 weeks, and was getting abit infected(it was underneath the foreskin, thus no ventilation) to the extent that it hurt during morning wood(rubbed against my boxers).
So I decided to see my GP, who told me to take a blood test for suspected Syphilis, as the wound was taking long to heal. Thank god it came out negative, and the ointment he prescribed healed the wound in about a week's time(it gradually became smaller).
So to all the bros out there, please do not be embarrassed about wounds appearing on your dick and suffer silently. All it takes is a simple visit to the GP and some regular ointment can do wonders.
If any bros who know they suffered the same fate and wish to self-medicate instead of seeing a doctor, go look for this ointment, 'Forsuderm'. I'm not sure if they sell it in pharmacies though.
Happy bonking and bonk safe bros!
