Hello, I've seen a doctor many times about a mild condition I have on my penis glans, have been prescribed 3 different creams including Betnovate and a Hydrocortisone, a course of antibiotics and a swab which said I was clear and still the condition remains. I used to have a tight foreskin up until last year which is now sorted from stretching, and I think the condition began during my teenage years when I wasn't able to wash the glans. It often feels dry and can sometmes feel slightly painful when the foreskin retracts, almost like its rubbing and the sensitivity everywhere is quite high still, not sure if this is due to the condition. The urethra opening is always red and inflamed and red areas appear frequently around the glans itself. Any advise on what I should do would be much appreciated, have attached a photo too. Many thanks!
I can't see any problem ??
What I mean is the pic makes your glans look normal to me. I'm not denying you are having a troubling problem - it just doesn't show as such to me in the photo.

Hello Verstarix!
I would like to ask you, have you managed to find information and cure your condition/issues you had in this post? I am asking this because I currently have very similar problems and haven't really got any specific advice for them yet, after specialist visits.
Thanks in advance
Hi, I have a problem with my penis and I don’t know what to do with it. I don’t know what it is but I hope you can help. The only way you would know what it is is if I showed you so please could you get back in contact or maybe email me so I could send a photo. Thank you
Are you washing with soap? If you are don't. It can cause this issue
Any luck with a solution man?

I believe a combination of medications will be effective:
-Azo to dull the urethra irritation
-D Mannose cranberry urinary tract health, bacterial antiadherence
-Antibiotic that treats dermis issues (limited use)
-Valtrex
-Ketoconazole shampoo (use small amount 3-4 days a week, lather then let dry for a few minutes, then wash off)
Hope this helps.
Hi , is there any update on your condition. Because your problem is very similar to mine. I have had this since i can remember. I was not circumcised , I had a mild case of tight foreskin and the glans were always sensitive. I got circumcised 3 years ago to solve those 2 problems. But the glans still painful and as sensitive as it was before the operation. I went to many doctors but didnt find any solution. I hope u have found something and can help with this issue.
Hello there!
I have to say that unfortunately nothing has improved significantly. I am still having the same issues, especially when not erect mostly
Have a great one!
hi, do you figure out of your problem?
actually i got the similar symptoms 2years ago (i guess i used too much soup to clean my glans before)
now i still get sensitive glan, sometimes red n sometimes skin peel off. it reli affect my life n i cant dare to have sex because of this problem. my urine mouth also red n sometimes burst a bit too.
i have seen many specailists but none of them can help me. did many bacteria n std test n all of them r negative.
reli want to figure out whats the problem..
My penis glans looks pretty much the same, I went to a urologist a week ago and he said that he can’t see anything wrong with it too. I on the other hand had a normal penis for most of my life, but after a rough session it became chaffed, purple around the rim but red everywhere else, and really really dry. To the point it doesn’t even produce its own moisture anymore. I’ve had it like this for more than a year now and it hasn’t gotten better even with abstaining from masturbating. Any improvement on your end?
I’m having the exact same problem as you, Timmy. Although i no longer masturbate the way i used to, i do ejaculate once a week by gently stroking the shaft, but it’s incredibly painful afterwards. The lips around the meatus are very red and burn. I cant figure out how to fix it, Im seeing a uroglist next week.
I have very similar symptoms and I have done exactly the same countermeasures such as not masturbating at all for an extended period of time, washing very gently with/without soap.
I’ve seen more than 6 different doctors for this condition, all of them can’t see anything wrong, or say it is a mild yeast infection.
it has been ongoing for 2 years now, I am reluctant to give up and I adamant to find a solution.
If anyone has had success with something please share!
Thanks for sharing. I just don’t understand why doctors aren’t able to help with this. Every doctor I’ve seen so far has told me that I’m fine, and yet the pain is ongoing. There isn’t even any information online about this, aside from these forums and threads. It’s maddening. Do you feel any pain, general soreness or aching down there, especially when you get an erection? And God forbid I ejaculate, the meatus lips are red and swollen for about 2 days. Even if I ejaculate without masturbating, I guess the semen being pumped through the urethra and shooting out pains the meatus every time, whether or not I’m rubbing the skin. I’ll let you know what the urologist says tomorrow, but based on everyone’s updates, I’m not optimistic he’ll be helpful.
Hey Patrick been having the same problem, any luck finding out what it is/ the treatment for it from your doctor?
Hi Thomas, I’m so sorry to hear you’re having the same issues, thanks for replying to me. Can I ask what your story is? What are your symptoms, what do you believe to have been the cause of it and how long have you had it for? The condition we have is only caused by trauma which triggers infection and inflammation again and again, appearing like a permanent problem. I, for example, have always had tight foreskin and February this year I tried to retract the skin while erect (something I can never do) and caused the trauma. The next day I woke up with fish lips at the urethra opening (the meatus). The urologist advised to stop using any kind of soap to wash under there, just warm shower water. He said a circumcision is necessary to help the penis glans breathe and the meatus to calm down, but the lips will continue to look pronounced. I’ve previously always just had a tiny slit opening. And he’s prescribed some steroid cream (Betamethasone Valerate) to apply twice a day onto the foreskin and the meatus. This should help with the tightness and inflammation, he says. I really look forward to your reply. The thread has definitely brought me some comfort, almost like a support group for us.
So I have what looks like a red/ irritated meatus and I thought I saw some discharge and slight pain when I urinated since January, I at first thought it was a STD so I got all test and all were negative, I still didnt believe it and went back to my doctor and again everything negative. My doctor decided to give me doxycycline just to see if that would help the discharge and pain when urinating. And it did both are gone but the only thing that remains is the meatus is red/irritated some days worse than others. I am circumcised so I dont know if its different for me. but I was still worried about it so I then went to a urologist and he told me that everything looked normal to him. Im very confused because it has never looking red/irritated on the meatus.
