Suggest Medication For Burning Sensation At The Tip Of Penis

my 7 yr old was just taking a shower and said the tip of his penis was burning really bad after he washed it. he was really crying hard and doesn t cry often. same soap he has been using but put it directly on versus using a washcloth. Could that have cause this burning?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Sudden burning and pain on washing indicates a small superficial wound or ulceration there. This can happen from forceful attempt at retracting foreskin or forceful rubbing while washing.

No need to worry. Just keep the area clean and dry and give paracetamol if needed for pain.

Take him to doctor if pain persists after 2 days or any discharge/bleeding from there. Avoid forceful retraction of foreskin as this can lead to phimosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK
