A member asked:
I put rubbing alcohol on the tip of my penis and it is still burning even after rinsing it through with water. how long will it take for the burning to go away?

Probably no more than a day or two, maybe gone within a few hours. Why did you do it? No infections (including STDs) are effectively prevented by this sort of thing.

A few hours or more. NEVER rub anything containing alcohol on the genital area as it is very sensitive to it
