What Causes Irritation On The Tip Of The Penis?

Posted on Mon, 3 Oct 2016

Question: Hi Dr. XXXXXXX
I dont know if you remember me.
you answered a question of mine a month ago.
I am still having a slight irritation on the tip of my penis. not all the time, but there are times that I will notice it.
I went to see my Urologist August 23, he said my penis looks fine, and prescribed me 2 mores weeks of Cipro. He only ran a urine test in house, he said everything was fine.
He said he did not see a reason to run STD tests, because I didnt have any sypmtoms.
I very much am a Hypocondriac. I just want your opinion again on what you think this small irritaion could be. Sometimes it feels like an itch, sometimes it pails like a pain. On a scale of 1-10 both itch and pain are about a 1 or less. I only feel it every now and then. never hurts when i have sex or ejaculate, doesnt burn when I pee, no discharge.
I have attached pictures of my penis.
I had sex July 6. Protected sex, but no condom when I received oral.
I started to feel like this August 3.

Brief Answer:
There is nothing to be worried about .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing again .

The occasional pain or discomfort of grade 1 scale out of 10 is of no significance and
could be due to mild inflammation or acidic urine and is nothing to be worried about .

Drink more water along with urine alkalizer Citralka thrice daily to keep your urine dilute and alkaline .

As far as possible avoid unprotected vaginal or oral sex till this gets cured completely .

Thanks and Regards.
