Hello doctor,
I have a burning sensation around my penis head, but not while urinating. So what could be the reason?
Kindly help.
Hi.
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
Complete details are needed for proper evaluation of the problem so that appropriate treatment can be suggested. Therefore, I would like to know a few things.
- Are you sexually active?

- Have you noticed any white layer on the tip of the penis?
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
Here are my answers to your questions.
- I have been masturbating for the past month and had sex one week ago.
- I did not have unprotected sex but had oral sex without a condom.
- I observed a white layer on my penis tip once, which looked like a precum.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I suggest you to follow the instructions mentioned below.
- Reduce the frequency of masturbation as it can lead to psychological problems and erectile dysfunction.
- Clean the head of the penis with warm water. Allow it to air dry.
- Apply Candid lotion (topical antifungal) with one or two drops on the affected area twice daily for two weeks. Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them and take the medications with their consent.
Also, is there any white discharge from the penis?
Follow up after ten days.
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had a colorless sticky discharge that looked like a precum two days ago, which lasted for less than an hour, and it never happened again.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
The colorless sticky discharge is not harmful, as it could be due to erotic imagination. And as you had no burning sensation while urination and no white discharge from the urethra, there is nothing to worry about.
I hope this has helped you.
