What Causes Discomfort Around The Penis Head?
I have a little discomfort around the head of my penis and I have been to my doctor, who prescribed an antibiotic that I finished last week, but the light discomfort is still there. He did a culture and a urine test and said everything was negative. I am wondering if there is some sort of irritation. I have been told, by non-medical professionals, to drink a lot more water and perhaps cranberry juice?

Hello,
As per your history, it may be penile irritation.
For that, you can apply hydrocortisone ointment. In case of itching, you can take tablet loratadine.
Avoid harsh cosmetic products, soap, washing powder. Maintain proper hygiene.
Kindly watch for symptoms like penile discharge, rash, fever, abdominal pain. Then you may require detailed evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
