Could my genital skin be sensitive to her vaginal enzymes?
I’ve been searching through the past questions regarding pain after sex and masturbation with the genitals and none seem to match my symptoms. After sex, often the base of my penis gets very red with what look like heat sores or even a rare form of psoriasis but unlikely. Sometimes these heat sores as I like to call them go up to the middle of the penis. And quite often after sex, the area between the head and the shaft gets scabs from irritation. I’m not being a Ron Jeremy over here, I have sex maybe 6 times a week. I am with my first still and she has been tested clear several times. Any prognosis?
it could be a number of things you could be allergic to the feminine products she is using sprays foams deoderants. ifyour using a condom you could have a laytex allergy you have to break it down one by one

Raptiva, a drug used to control moderate to severe psoriasis, has recently been part of the news cycle because of the FDA’s noting that three, and possibly a fourth, cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) have been linked to its use. PML is a serious brain infection that kills nearly 80 percent of those it infects within the first six months. Those who survive often have debilitating neurological problems. While the prognosis of PML is grim, it is caused by a virus carried by most people called polyomavirus JC, or JC virus. This virus is considered harmless unless the body’s immune defenses are lowered. Many PML sufferers also have diseases such as Hodgkin’s disease, lymphoma, and sarcoidosis, as well as AIDS. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, which causes lesions on the skin. These lesions can itch and burn, or be extremely painful. It is estimated by the
National Psoriasis Foundation
that 7.5 million Americans suffer psoriasis. The most common type is called plaque psoriasis, which is typically characterized by inflamed, raised, red lesions on the elbows, knees, lower back and scalp. It’s unattractive and irritating, but generally not life threatening. It is one of five different kinds of psoriasis, and can be treated in mild forms with creams or other medications. Raptiva targets plaque psoriasis cases that are more severe. Raptiva is marketed by Genetech, Inc. as a once-a-week injection for people over the age of 18. It is widely recommended by healthcare providers as one of the most effective treatments for psoriasis. But, as with many drugs, there are potential side effects. According to the FDA, besides PML, those who take Raptiva risk viral meningitis, bacterial sepsis, and invasive fungal diseases. Listed side effects include fever and chills, cough, congestion, sore throat, and burning or problems urinating. However, it’s PML that may be the worst. Symptoms of PML include: • Impaired speech • Dizziness • Weakness or paralysis • Loss of vision In many cases, PML may have similar symptoms as multiple sclerosis, but the progress of the disease is more progressive and deteriorating.
About the Author:
The FDA added a boxed warning about PML to Raptiva in October 2008. While the warnings about the drug are becoming well known due to the recent PML-Raptiva deaths, the FDA doesn’t believe that patients should immediately stop taking the drug. Instead, they are asked to consult with their doctor first. However, if you have become ill from taking Raptiva, you may be entitled to compensation.
