Annoying abrasion

[Canadiandood]

hi, i am cut and not sexually active atm...somehow ive gotten an abrasion it seems on the very tip of my pee hole and everytime it rubs against my boxers which is everytime i basically move my legs it hurts...its not big at all, its just a really small area thats kinda pinkish and hurts when ever something touches it im not sure how i got it because it seemed rather sudden...it was fine all day until about 10 at night i went to sit down and about 30 mins later when i stood up it was there i even masturbated earlier that day and it wasnt there and when i do masturbate i dont even touch that area so i dont know, any suggestions?

Hi

This sounds like an abrasion. The glans penis is covered with a thinner skin than most part of the body. Refrain from manipulating the area. Wash the area with a mild cleanser only such as Cetaphil. Do not rub or pick on the area as this may only cause further irritation. Avoid wearing tight underpants. Wash your genitals after urination since urine may further cause redness and pain in the area.

At this point, there is no need to apply any creams or lotions. Just avoid picking on the area. If this is a mild abrasion, this should revert to normal in time.
