I had sex last night and now my glans are exposed, and the skin isn't retracting. Is that normal? It feels uncomfortable rubbing against my clothes since it's such a sensitive area. What should I do?

Bizarre Lip Sensation: Greasy, Warm Feel

Possible Explanations

1. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Stomach acid reflux can cause a greasy taste and sensation on the lips.
2. Gastritis or Stomach Ulcers: Inflammation or ulcers in the stomach lining can lead to unusual tastes and sensations.
3. Dysgeusia: A neurological disorder affecting taste perception, potentially causing unusual tastes like grease.
4. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations can affect taste and sensation.
5. Anxiety or Stress: Stress and anxiety can manifest physically, including unusual sensations like a greasy taste.

Recommendations

1. Keep a Symptom Journal: Record when the sensation occurs, what you've eaten, and any potential triggers.
2. Consult a Gastroenterologist: Rule out underlying gastrointestinal issues.
3. Neurological Evaluation: Consider consulting a neurologist to explore the possibility of dysgeusia.
4. Stress Management: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises.
