HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may want to rule out a fungal infection, this can sometimes occur at the glans (top aspect) of the penis.It is not considered sexually transmitted.
Treatment with topical anti fungal cream for 1 to 3 weeks helps to resolve this, if this is the case. eg canesten, nizoral, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole
If no infection is present then you may only need to apply a small amount of lubricant to help.
I hope this helps
