Hey, I had applied polysporine to my penis because of a minor injury ( I overreacted and decided to use polysporine ) polysporine gave a light burning sensation ( I applied it to my penis 5 times in total ) I no longer use it but it seems as if the part where I applied it on my penis is a bit rough and dry now. What should I do ?
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Polysporin ointment is antibiotic ointment. Its direction of use is only over the skin and not over the mucosa. You have applied over the penile mucosa, so you have rough skin. Other reason for rough skin might be your allergic reaction to the polypoid ointment. I suggest you to now not to apply over the penile mucosa now. In either case you can apply steroid cream under your doctors' guidance. This will clear up the roughness of the skin. Please maintain good hygiene over the rough skin and also maintain the moisture over the mucosa. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor
