Suggest Treatment For Persistent Irritation And Inflammation Under The Penis
Question: Hi I'm currently having an issue. Under my penis head where the frenulum seperates the glans I'm having some inflammation and irritation. No discharge at all and not itchy. A slight sting when urine touches it but not through the urethra. Feels like when it makes contact with that area. No bumps or sores.any idea of what this can be ?
Brief Answer:
Likely to be a small abrasion or sore
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
There's likely to be a small sore or abrasion.
This can occur with sexual intercourse or masturbation. There is a risk of a herpes infection also if you had unprotected sex.
If there's no chance of a herpes infection, then you can apply Bactroban cream over the area and it ought to heal.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
