Does it look like Chlymedia to you?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rakhi Tayal (15 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Can be chlamydia.

Detailed Answer:
I have seen the attached image. The inflammation of the external meatus can be due to chlamydia or any bacterial infection. In both the cases doxycycline will help.
Urine examination or swab test can help in confirmation.
