What Causes Itching At The Tip Of The Penis In A 69-year-old?
I have been experiencing occasional itching at the tip of my penis in the urethra area. I m a 69-year old male. I m not sexually active...only about once a month these days. I ve been experiencing this for about 6 months, usually at night after I change into my pajamas and get ready for bed. This is just weird. Can you help me? Thank you!
