SENSITIVE PENUS

MY PENUS IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE.  EVEN WEARING UNDERWEAR IS UNCOMOFORTABLE AND BURNING IS CONSISTENT, ESPECIALLY AFTER I URINATE.
I TAKE WARM BATHS AND MY PENUS ACTUALLY SHRINKS UP.  I HAVE NO OUTWARD SIGNS AT ALL, NO RASHES ETC BUT THE HEAD IS WORSE.  SEXUAL ACTIVITY DOES NOT HURT MORE.

The skin of the penis does tend to be sensitive.  That is not a serious abnormality.  The best thing to do is to avoid as much irritation as you can--wearing loose underwear, etc.  If by "sensitive" you mean burning on urination, you need to see a doctor to check to see whether you have an infection.  Please look into this.

Thanks.

Dear Sir,

I am diabatic, I do take regular medicine for it. The skin on my penus is not circumsized and it is at many times difficult to move the skin back unless it is fully lubricated. On times while performing sex with my girl friend, I felt a pain in doing so at some times. On some occassions i felt a burning at the tip of the penus skin and the forskin intends to get rashes and get swollen and I get cuts at the foreskin. Also after couple of days later i felt that there is a white material at the top of my skin and i can feel it itcy and can see the white material all around the penus inner skin. Now when i try to move the skin back it pains a lot. Do i need a circumcision or do i need to consult a doctor. Please advice so

I think the first question should be how long have you been experiancing this?
Have you had this condition since childhood? if not do you suspect what could have been the cause when it began happening, STD, some kind of infection, ect..

Come on doc you can be a little more extensive and investigative than that.... are people paying for these answers?
