What Causes Thin Flaky Scabbing At The Tip Of Penis?

Hi i have some really thin flaky scanning right around the tip of my penis, by the urethra. At one point it was itching a lot and there was a bit of yellowish odorless discharge but now that s gone because i have been drinking a lot of water and orange juice. I thought it was a UTI and now i want to know if there s still anything wrong. I believe that it might have happened because my girlfriend and i have unprotected anal sex. There is a slight ticklish itch along the inner urethra but there is no burning and no more discharge. The scanning is very minimal and the itching isn t that bad either.

Hello
I share your concern
Looking at your description it might be related to infection, Local allergy or an injury or inflammation during anal sex

I would like more information.to help you better like
Since how long you have this problem?
Relevant medical history like diabetes or other metabolic disorder ?

In my opinion you should consult a dermatologist for physical examination and series of investigations to establish a diagnosis like urine culture and sensitivity test and routine blood profile.

You may require a course of antibiotics under supervision of your doctor

Meanwhile have plenty of fluids
Maintain good hygiene
Avoid sex or use condom until it heals completely

Thanks for your question
Wish you good health
