Rubbing alcohol is very harsh on the skin, especially on sensitive areas like the penis, and can cause irritation, dryness, and burning. Since the irritation has lasted 7 days, try the following:
What You Can Do:
Keep the area clean – Use only mild, fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water.
Moisturize – Apply Aloe vera gel or a fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe irritation.
Avoid harsh products – No rubbing alcohol, soaps with sulfates, or scented lotions.
Wear loose cotton underwear – Reduces friction and allows healing.
If the burning or irritation continues for more than a few more days or worsens, see a doctor or dermatologist.
