A member asked:

I notice redness/burning on my penis skin during and after sex, i assume might be a friction burn, what else can it be and what causes it. what helps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Local reaction: Sometimes you can have a local skin reaction to lubricants/spermicides/etc. that are in condoms or vaginal foams. The process may require a change in whatever you use. If it is just friction you may need to abstain for a while & add a good lubricant to the process in the future.
