Dear I Think I Used Scented Lotion To Masturbate And Now My Penis Kind Of Hurt To Touch. ,

There is no question that is too embarassing for TeenhealthFX to answer!

Unfortunately, we cannot diagnose over the internet. If it is still painful to touch, we recommend reaching out to a parent or trusted adult and seeing a doctor. In the meantime, try washing with a mild, unscented soap. It is possible you may have been irritated the skin from the fragrance in the lotion.  

If you need help finding a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the  Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health  at 973-971-5199  for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist.
