Any Thoughts About Sore, Red And Inflamed Penis Tip?

Hi, the tip of my penis is sore, red and some what inflamed. I am not sure if there is a discharge, there was white in the area this morning, however I put bactorban around the area last night before bed, so it may have been a build up of that. I am married and in a monogamous relationship with her for years. Any thoughts?

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have noticed soreness and inflammation of tip of your penis since few days.
This is most likely to be due to inflammation of external urinary meatus secondary to unprotected sex with your wife who is likely to have vaginal infection.

Please get her checked by a qualified Gynaecologist and treat her accordingly.


You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily

Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.
