Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a mild burning sensation on the tip of my penis glans. It has been a few months since the burning started and it does not seem to cure. At times the burning sensation stays for a whole day and sometimes swelling appears too. Also, I had unprotected sex with my partner for the first time; she is fine and does not have any discomfort. I underwent a urine culture test, blood sugar test, HIV test, and VDRL test and all the test reports came out normal. I have tried many antibiotics and applied Fusiwal cream, which did not show any results. I am currently using Quadriderm RF cream but the burning is still there. I am worried about what could it be?
Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and can understand your concern.
If all the tests are normal, then I suggest you stay relaxed and follow the instructions mentioned below;
1) Avoid irritation or friction in that area.
2) Wear loose and cotton innerwear.
3) Do not over-clean using harsh soaps.
4) Wash the area with warm water twice daily.
5) Drink more water and healthy fluids.
Also, I request you to answer the following questions to analyze the condition better;
1) Do you or your partner have any fungal infections or any other infections or allergies or diseases?
2) Do you have difficulty retracting your foreskin?
If there is swelling, I suggest you consult a dermatologist in person for further examination, diagnosis, and management.
Please revert with clear photos of the area, if possible and add the other details requested for a better analysis of the condition.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
I have no difficulty retracting my foreskin but it gets stuck with the glans. Sometimes, my glans tip swells, and small bumps appear on the sides of the penis shaft. Also, I am not sure if my partner has any infections, but she does not have any symptoms as of now.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
As of now, I suggest you follow the instructions as mentioned earlier and apply T- Bact (Mupirocin) 2 % ointment if you notice any swelling. If the swelling or symptoms persist then consult a dermatologist for further examination and management.
I hope this helps.
