Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your feedback, photo and report.
The White cell count is normal.
The Lymphocytes look less as the neutrophils are on a higher side and the Total of all 5 components is 100 hence the relatively less lymphocytes.
Photo looks okay, there is no lump or ulcer.
The variegated appearance is post-healing phenomenon.
The burning at the tip is usually indicative of urethritis or cystitis particularly at the base of urinary bladder.
Have review tests of urine and an ultrasound of the whole abdomen particularly for genito-urinary system.

Since you are 40 years old and are married, the foreskin must be completely movable and hence should be thoroughly cleaned daily as accumulation of smegma can cause irritation. If the skin can not be retracted fully one may need circumcision.

I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.

Brief Answer:
As detailed.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the link.
If you please read it again:
The first noticeable symptom of penile cancer is typically a lump, mass or ulcer and so on.
Then they have mentioned other symptoms.
You do not have lump, mass or an ulcer... you have burning and change in color.
Since you have had balanoposthitis, the rejuvenation of skin takes time and once complete the color may change to normal. It can take a few more weeks for this.

I hope this answer helps you.

Sir
I have burning only till 2 pm. In my sence it should be of 2 reason. 1. I am moving more my foreskin in the morning hours and sur to scratching of foreskin towards the effcted skin it may burn.
2. Can uti or concentrated urine make it.
You only have to give what is the reason
doctor
Answered by Dr. T Chandrakant (3 hours later)
Brief Answer:
yes, indeed.

Detailed Answer:
You are certainly logically correct. More the fondling, more will be the itching.
Yes, both the concentrated urine and UTI can cause itching.
Another aspect is the psychological: that is once a person is too much bothered and constantly thinking about a particular problem itching can be a problem as well well as burning. This is called psychogenic itching. This possibility has also to be considered in some cases.
There looks to be no obvious reason as per the latest photos, no active disease.
Another reasons can be allergy to some materials like condom, underwear if of synthetic material.
I hope by this time your wife has been seen, examined and treated by the Gynecologist and you too took the same course.
Are you using condom or is it unprotected?
Any other information out of the previous discussions please.
