Hello, I am a 19-year-old male and I was prescribed Mupirocin 2% to apply to my glans. I have phimosis and have never been able to wash, so my doctor prescribed it to me in case I have an infection. I have a very sensitive glans (I literally was never able to wash it), but I managed to apply the Mupirocin. I ve never really heard of this medication before, and I just want to make sure that nothing is going to happen to my oh-so-sensitive head. It s been about 20 minutes and I don t feel much any irritation, so I m guessing that s a good sign. I also want to mention that my entire glans (the top half that I can actually see) is very white and the area around the pee-hole is red. I want to assume that the white is just built up smegma/tissue from never managing to clean it.. I have an anxiety disorder and this is indeed not helping. I have an appointment with a urologist next week but would like an opinion beforehand.
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having Belano-prostitis giving this problem. Due to collection of smegmas under foreskin will lead to infection in glans and urethral opening. For the time being gone for one course of antibiotic medicine course to get rid of infection. You will require circumcision operation. Ok and take care.
