Summer Penile Syndrome

PEM Currents returns with a second episode focusing on a rather “private” matter. Summer penile syndrome is a hypersensitivity reaction  to an insect bite (usually a chigger) that causes pruritis and edema to the skin of the penile shaft. This episode reviews the diagnosis and management of this surprisingly common clinical entity.
