It could be due inflammation of tip of Urethra.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have
redness around tip of the urethra and surrounding area since one week.

This is mostly due to mild inflammation of external urinary meatus and glans penis probably due to contamination with inner wares.

Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to rule out any infection and the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.
