Wrinkled, Dry, Red Penis Glans After Chlamydia Infection. Burning Urination, Stiff Neck, Weak Joints, Throat Discomfort
my penis glan used to be really smooth and nice but weeks after chlamydia infection, even after i was cured, my penis glan remains wrinkled, dry and slightly red (no pain or any discomfort). Likewise, I have been to a few docs and they told me its normal but to me i know it's not since I have been looking at my penis for the last 25 yrs.. nw im pretty helpless... any update from you would be great! Thanks!
In addition, sometimes when i urine i still experience a weird but not burning sensation inside and ard my urethra and bladder region. Also, I have not been feeling well ever since... my body is aching all the time and my neck is stiff whereby there are a lot of cacking sound when i move or stretch it. I feel restless and my joints are also weaker. I also experienced discomfort ard my throat region

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Chlamydial infection would not likely to cause the dryness of the glans penis. Just apply liquid paraffin over the glans twice a day for a week. If you feel it persists even after this then you can consult a dermatologist for the same as it could be due to something else and not related to Chlamydia.
Moreover your symptoms of body ache, stiffness of neck, cracking sounds etc. are not related to your Chlamydial infection and consult your physician regarding these.
Consume plenty of liquids and your urethral discomfort will be alright. If it persists, repeat the urine examination once again and ascertain whether you had been totally cured from Chlamydial infection.
Get well soon.
