Question : Hi, I accidentally exposed my penis glans to a little too warm water in the shower last night while adjusting the temperature. Today it feels a bit sore, but there's not really anything visible. Any advice, anything I should do about it?

Many thanks for your answer. The condition was less harmful than I first thought, so I think I am fine now. I have other issues I wanna ask about, but would these have to be sent in a new query? If I send images, would everyone online be able to look at these, or only the doctor I send them to?
