UTI, STD, Neurological, dermatological, who knows?

I had unprotected and protected sex about 6 months ago. The condom was latex, no spermicide.
I began long runs, training for a marathon, about 2+ hours weekly, and 1-hour jogs 4 days per week.
I got an inguinal hernia, recently fixed.
I have had this irritation at the tip of the penis. I can't say it burns, but I feel it when urinating and when idle. I see the skin tag at the tip which had never been there. It feels like something is just inside. No blood in my urine. After I urinate or ejaculate, it's "drippy" for a bit. And when I have to pee really badly, it may form a droplet. This is totally new. I cannot tell if there is a sore on the inside, but it looks red and irritated. I figured from pulling back the skin or from a blood vessel. Not sure. I used to have no problem, but now when I **** and shake, it ends up on my fingers and on a part of the head. Very disconcerting. The attached pictures show the tip irritated and not.

What are your thoughts? I'm headed to a urologist on Monday. Any suggestions on things to look for, ask, test for...etc.? Thanks!

Infection would need to be ruled out. This can be done with a urine test or urethral swab for STDs. I would also have a digital rectal exam to evaluate the prostate for infection.
If that has been ruled out, a cystoscopy can be considered to evaluate for anatomical abnormalities such as a urethral stricture or polyp.
Dermatological conditions like a fungal infection or dermatitis can also be considered - and treated with the appropriate cream.
These options can be discussed with your personal physician or urologist.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
