What Causes Painful Red Blisters On The Penis?

Hello Doctor, I was wondering what could be making this issue I ve been having for the last month. On the tip of my penis, underneath the foreskin, I ve been feeling frequent burning sensations, along with notable red dots scattered every now and then. This has been on and off, sometimes it d be worse and others not apparent whatsoever. What do you think is the issue?

Hi,

If you had unprotected sex - need to rule out sexually transmitted infection. If not it can be balanitis - share a picture for confirmation. Local application of antifungal cream with steroid can help you.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr S.R.Raveendran, Sexologist
