What Is The Remedy For Pain On The Tip Of Penis?
Hi Dr. Dilip Raja,
I am a 23 year old, sexually active male. I have had a history of fungal infections (jock itch, infected toes, etc) all over my body. About 3 months ago I started having severe pain on the tip of my penis that worsened after urination, ejaculation and chaffing. I was tested for all STDs at 2 months and 4 months after possible exposure and everything came up negative. I was put on 2 months worth of antibiotics which did nothing to improve my condition. Recently the pain at the tip has gone away but there is now a small line (indentation) along the base of the head of the penis which is the source of the discomfort. It is greatly affecting my sex life. I hope you can help.

Hi,
The discolouration or indentation you have after complete healing of fungal infection is just post inflammatory hypermelanosis or scar. So, there is no need to worry or to take any treatment.
There should be no discomfort at present. Now onward..go for protected sex only.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
