Infectiou would be the most common cause. Urine tests can be done to evaluate for urethritis, gonorrhea or chlamydia. The prostate can also be palpated and imaged with an ultrasound. An prostatic fluid can also be sent to evaluate for infection.
If infection has been ruled out, dermatitis or a fungal skin disease are also possible. These options can be discussed with a dermatologist.
A cystoscopy can also be considered to rule out anatomical abnormalities (i.e. a urethral stricture or polyp).
These options can be discussed with your urologist.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
