What Is The Treatment For Inflamed Penis Head?

I had a tender inflamed area on the of the head of the penis and today a water blister appeared and broke, with a watery discharge. I am circumcised, but foreskin still covers most of the head. I am 83 years old and not sexually active. At first the irritation appeared to be friction from my clothing and it had been warm.

Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of PENILE INFLAMMATION, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1. HERPES
2. Small cyst
3. small abscess

you have to apply povidone-iodine lotion locally along with acyclovir ointment and also take erythromycin tablet four times daily for 5 days!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
