Hello, I am 22 years old MALE currently taking Doryx 150 mg/ day(doxycline) for acne. This past week the skin on my penis has become very dry and flaky. Im starting to get nervous about this because its not going away even after Ive used lotion repeatedly. I have not been sexually active in 4 months. I also have not masturbated in weeks. What could this be?
Hello and thanks for your question.It's my first priority to help you. Well when you take an antibiotic - you could be inducing a yeast infection - so ask your doctor for a prescription to Rifleman - and take pill per week while on antibiotics. In the meantime you can apply OTC 1% HY Chat Doctor. Also clean the area with DIAL soap. Wear loose fitted cotton clothes. Start probiotics. Hope this helps.
