Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. The severe itching behind your knees may not be related to the swollen penis. The itching for whatever reason should be treated symptomatically using antihistaminic drugs. The common medication used in my practice include chlorpheniramine maleate (available as Avil in many countries). It has minimal side effects. I believe that the swollen penis may be related to having had an injury during sexual activity or due to infection which needs to be treated. However, examination by a PCP with whom you have an appointment today will give you the right answers. I hope this helps.

Take care and have a lovely day!
