Balanitis from smegma buildup?

[4SkinGuy]

I have some irritation on the tip of my penis, and it smells. ( I think I masturbated too vigorously and didn't wash it thoroughly enough, I think is what happened..) What should I do??

If it was me I would wash well with an antibacterial soap and let air dry than put a drop of Neosporin on the area. Hold off on using a device for a week to allow the area to fully heal. When masturbating use a lighter grip with some lube so as to help prevent chaffing of the tissue.

Okay, thank you! It's just gotten super sensitive and it hurts..

Im sure. I dont know where you are in restoration but don't forget part of the main goal, to allow the glans to soften and become more sensitive. This also means that what never bothered you last year is now going to do damage. Lighter touch and lube, just like when with a lover, dry is no longer good.

Okay. I see, that makes sense though.. My penis is a lot more sensitive, so I would imagine the thinner skin on the glans is too?

If it's irritated from masturbating too roughly, just wait a while. Call it a friction burn - it'll probably go back to normal within a day or so. No need to wash any more thoroughly than simply rinsing it.

It got better when I washed it with soap and took a break from masturbating for the day thanks though!
