Suggest Treatment For Pain On Penis
Question: Hi, I've had pain in the tip of my penis a few weeks back. It was treated with anti=biotics and felt fine. However, just to look around before attempting sex I felt around and felt an inner almost pimple in the head. I pushed it just a bit and I've had extreme pain all night. No real pain when urinating. Any ideas?
Brief Answer:
Possibility of balano-posthitis of yeast etiology.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Innermost part of penis head with pimple like eruptions and pain while retracting your foreskin indicates balano-posthitis. That means inflammation of foreskin and the glans penis (head of penis). Yeast infection could be a reason.
If you send more particulars about your sexual activity, any problem with sex partner, whether you are a diabetic patient etc. would be useful to discuss more.
Moreover if you can upload the picture of the affected area, this will also helpful to give you more valuable suggestions.

I think that you mean your lesions remain inner aspect of urethral orifice. If it is so, an examination of your penis and a simple urine examination will reveal your problem. Sometimes more investigations may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
