Dear sir,

It appears that you are having balanitis with results are fine then you need to get yourself further investigated with urine examination and ultrasound KUB.

In the meantime you should drink plenty of fluids and cranberry juice. You can also apply XXXXXXX emollient on the tip of penis to provide relief.

Take care

Im still waiting on the test results for STDs. I am Circumsized, do you still think it is balanitis? my eyes have been extremely dry lately I have been drinking as much water as possible.

Dear Sir,

Balanitis can happen even with circumcized penis. Red and puffy glans suggest infection of the glans and you should take treatment for the same.
