What Does Soreness On The Tip Of The Penis Indicate?
Hello, I am recently having some issues. I have a uncircumcised penis, and lately the tip of the for skin has been kind of sore when I pull it back too clean it I notice there is a few years (cut) like marks on it and it hurts when I pull it back. I was wondering if I should be alarmed or is this something that will go away. I am sexually active and it has happened before but not as bad. It s now to the point if I urinate and it gets touched it stings. I have heard of applying honey too it as a natural ointment would this work?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is possible that there may be a mild infection. This could be bacterial or fungal and does not necessarily indicate a sexually transmitted infection. It will go away with treatment but to determine the appropriate treatment. You would need to be seen by your doctor for assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
