Burning Sensation in Scrotum and Anus
by DaveNC, May 01, 2004 12:00AM
I have had a burning discomfort/sensation in my scrotum and my Anus for a few days, and I am wonder what this could be. My tip of my penus i also irritated, but I have no burning sensation when urinating.
My skin is not red, but just seems to be really sensitive.
Could this be herpes? I see no other symptoms

Just irritation with no other symptoms is unlikely to be herpes. It could be irritation, friction, anxiety, or some combination. Try OTC 1% hydrocortisone twice a day and ask a doctor to have a look.
