Friction burns can happen pretty much anywhere, and yes, that includes the penis . Friction burns and small tears in the skin of the head and shaft of the penis are actually totally common, and they can happen from everyday activity, or from solo or partnered sexual activity. If you’re concerned about potential friction burn or are wondering what you can do about it, read on for symptoms, causes, treatment, and prevention.
“The genitals always have some tearing during sexual activities,” Nicole Prause, PhD, founder of the sexual biotechnology company, Liberos , tells O.school. Dr. Prause ads, “usually you cannot see these tears, but sometimes high-friction stimulation of the penis will cause a scab, usually crusty, rough, and reddish in color, to form.”
These reddish, scabby patches of skin, that can form on the penis, often during partnered sex or masturbation, are usually friction burns.
Some other symptoms of friction burn include:
Though friction burns are common and will completely heal over time, they can look very similar to other more important genital health concerns, including STIs and balanitis.
Similar symptoms to that of friction burn — reddish patches of skin on the penis — can also be an indicator of various STIs including:
Common symptoms of STIs to keep an eye out for, especially if you experience skin irritation that you’re not sure is just friction burn or not, include:
Experiencing any of these is a good indicator you should see your doctor right away to be tested for an STI, and begin the appropriate treatment in a timely manner if needed. Prause stresses that “any time you have a reasonable possibility of an infection, you should ask a doctor to check.” She clarifies that “ reasonable possibility can arise from the following: sex with a new partner, unprotected sex without knowing your partner's infection status, or reusing a sex toy you were not sure was clean.”
In addition, if the sore heals after a few days, it doesn’t rule out the possibility of a sexually transmitted infection, as STI symptoms can come and go. The only way to be 100 percent sure is to get tested. You should also notify any recent sexual partners so they can proactively get tested as well.
If the skin irritation is occurring primarily around the head (glans) of the penis, it’s more likely related to balanitis . Balanitis is often caused by an overgrowth of yeast or bacteria. While this condition is more likely to occur in people with uncircumcised penises , it also happens to people with circumcised penises. People often experience balanitis in relation to poor or unsafe genital hygiene practices.
Experiencing friction burn on the penis is usually caused by the following activities:
If you experience a friction burn that you notice during masturbation or penetrative intercourse, you should stop the activity, but Prause also makes an important note about the way our brain might register certain sensations during sexual experiences .
“Since sex is very pleasurable, the friction may not be processed by the brain as pain at the time,” she says, “so it is common not to even notice a friction burn forming.” Or getting worse.
If the reasonable possibility of an STI (or another infection) has been ruled out, and the penis does, in fact, have a friction burn, it will heal on its own generally within seven days. Prause advises, “when injured, the penile dermis, has the potential to be infected, so it should be clean, dry and protected whenever possible.” To make the healing process smoother, more comfortable, and reduce the risk of infection or further irritation, there are several suggested best practices, including:
The first key to preventing friction burns resulting from sexual activity is a personal lubricant. The truth is, pretty much every single sexual experience is drastically improved by the involvement of lube — not only in pleasure but also in safety.
Another thing to consider regarding the prevention of friction burns when intimate with a partner is open communication. Prause describes this as being “willing to pause a particularly pleasurable sexual activity if you feel a ‘hot spot’ or area becoming especially roughly rubbed.” For many reasons, a person may be reluctant or feel embarrassed to let their partner know, however, as Prause adds, “you absolutely should mention these concerns; they are part of good communication.”
When cleaning the genitals, use a mild gentle wash. You can clean yourself using your hands, a soft loofa or washcloth, and dry off by patting the area gently dry with a soft towel.
Our bodies manifest and present symptoms of infection, illness, and injury in such a plethora of ways, often inconsistently too, so if you’re at all anxious or unsure about something going on with your genitals, it’s best to see your doctor so they can accurately assess, diagnose, and treat any sexual health concerns.

So I had sex with my boyfreind the other night. We had sex for about one to two hours, and afterwards he said that his penis felt a burning sensation, plus the condom broke. The next day his penis was sore and the skin was irritated, i told him that I was irritated too and that the sex we had was kind of rough, I figured its a friction burn. i was recently tested for STDs like three months ago and came up clean, and havent had sex until now. So we went to have sex again the next day and had to stop becasue he said it burns. Its been three days now and he wont even talk to me, Im fearing he thinks I gave him an std, but since everything was fine until right after we had sex Im sure its not an std, plus i am clean. I dont know what to do. How do I talk to him about it, how can we prevent it from happening next time? What facts can I give him that he didnt contract an std from me?(such as the difference between an std and friction burn.)

Hi, this has happened to me recently with my new partner. The first time we had sex it lasted a lot longer then what I was used to with previous boyfriends. At the start I am usually self lubricated enough but near the end it starts getting very dry and quite painful. We usually make it work without hurting me at the time but after the first time we slept together I had swollen labias and also quite painful skin which then turned into almost blister looking sores. I was terrified I had herpes so went and got them looked at, by visual inspection they thought it was herpes too but said that the placement wasn't normal for herpes and it was also only one blister rather than a cluster. the results came back negative to hsv though and they told me it was friction blisters. Because I'm not used to sex lasting as long as it does with my boyfriend now we've had to start using lube. It helps a lot but I don't really like using it! I find that if I am sore the next day or after sex to have a sits bath or even just a cup of water with some salt in it over the area to cleanse it a bit. Definitely not fun and has happened again since but were more comfortable with each other now which is good as I am able to tell him what works for me as well as using the lube. Definitely know when you need to stop though cause it is not fun being sore for days after and not being able to have sex till you're not in pain.

Hello,
The symptoms of a std do not appear so fast and immediately after intercourse. This looks like chafing or friction rub to me. Chafing occurs when the skin becomes irritated by the friction caused by rubbing – either against other skin or against a foreign material. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. Also wear cotton undergarments. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.
Also the next time use water based lubricants like ky jelly the next time when you have intercourse.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
