What Causes Penile Burning Sensation?
Question: I seem to have a burning sensation on the skin on the top of my penis. What could this be?
Brief Answer:
may be mild inflammation
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
This can be because of common causes like inflammation of the surface of glans of penis, due to some infection, trauma, rubbing from tight underwear, etc. Usually this goes off on its own in hours to few days. Some soothing creams can help.
If there are visible lesions like redness, ulcer, etc, then visit to doctor is recommended.
Hope this helps. I will be available for followup.
