penis pain

[Jenson65]

by mistake a shampoo liquid fell on my penis at the penile opening and since then urination has become quite painful and burning sensation. What is the remedy?

Hello,

Avoid using any lotions and creams over the skin for the meantime. Wash it with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat your skin dry. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area and see if this improves.If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort.

If the irritation persists then pls get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.

The pain and burning sensation during urination started after the accidental pouring of shampoo on the penile opening. I think it is due to the shampoo's affect on the penis. Is there a remedy for such rashes?

[Bhupinder Kaur, MD]

Hello,

This pain can be due to urethritis(inflammtotion of the urethra). Besides pain, other symptoms may include a burning sensation during urination or erection and a discharge from the urethral opening at the tip of the penis.

I feel that you should consult a physician and get a swab sample of the urethra examined under the microscope.it will clear any doubts.Treatment will depend on confirmation of diagnosis.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.
