Don’t know if this has been covered or not but I’ve just noticed today 3 days post treatment that the tip of my penis has become very red and inflamed, wondered if anyone else who has one had a similar experience and what cream etc did you use on it ?

I think it must be in the blast area of the radiotherapy as the radiographers had to move it from one side to the other when doing the planning scans.

Thanks for any replies or suggestions.

Hello Monty

Sorry I can't help, I am hoping some of the men on the forum will pick up and give their experience. The radiotherapy can really affect all areas in the 'line of fire' as it were so it may just be a side effect of that. But that said, it would be worth giving your treating team a ring tomorrow just to make sure there isn't some sort of infection going on.

Best of luck, and please let us know how you get on.

Hi Irene

thanks for the reply and that looks like a plan. I have only just completed (a week ago) a course of antibiotics for a UTI but it could be an infection ?

Hello Monty

They might call you in to check, but it is worth the trouble in case it needs treatment. Hope you have recovered from your UTI, very common I'm afraid during and after pelvic radiotherapy.

Hi TheMont Like Irene75359 said hopefully some of the blokes on here will respond. Were you given any creams during treatment like flamigel etc, I can't see any reason you couldn't use them. Sending hugs. Xx

Sounds incredibly uncomfortable TheMont , I’d definitely get checked out just in case of infection. Let us know how you get on.
