Hello. Thank you for writing to us.
Burning sensation around head can be due to balanitis Or inflammation of glans.
This inflammation can be due to infections like candidal balanitis.
STDs like genital herpes can also cause buning sensation but this is usually accompanied by genital sores.
Irritation of delicate genital skin from harsh soaps, antiseptics etc may also cause burning sensation.
Certain non infectious causes like Zoon's balanitis may also cause burning.
Transient burning sensation can also be due to rough sex.
Do you have any skin lesions e.g inflammed red areas Or erosions?
Do you have any other symptoms like burning sensation on passing urine? urethral discharge?
Are you sexually active? When was your last sexual contact?
How long since do you have this burning sensation?
