Specializes in General Practice

Reactive Skin: Without seeing the lesions on the penis here are the most common situations that this could be: 1. Abrasions from too much or too dry of friction with the sexual activity 2. Staph infection secondary to number 1. 3. Allergic like reaction to lube, latex or anything else used with the sexual activity.
