Head of penis is red/painful to the touch, also has very tiny red bumps.
Posted , 8 users are following.
The head of my penis has had a slight red discoloration for several months now. It is irritated, painful to the touch, and everything I've tried so far hasn't improved the condition. I've tried hydrocortisone and clotrimazole and neither have seemed to have any meaningful impact. I've given each at least 1-2 weeks using them daily but the condition persists.
There are also small little barely noticeable bumps, not sure what those are. I've been tested for STD's and the only thing I've tested positive for is HSV1 but I don't believe this is herpes.
There is no itching at all, just discomfort and pain when I touch it. I haven't been sexually active since this started up which was a few months ago. Please let me know if you need any more information.

I was tested by blood. I believe I may have gotten a cold sore when I was younger but I can't be certain.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll stay away from them from now on. I guess I'll just continue with the clotrimazole for now, still not seeing improvement though.

No, I've never had any numbness or erectile difficulty. It is only painful/uncomfortable to touch, which actually makes it pretty uncomfortable to masturbate. Some days it's better than others. And there haven't been any sensitivities making me cum quicker. I was taking doxycycline around the time I began to have this condition, and I've read on other places on this site that others were also taking that antibiotic which resulted in the condition I've described. That's really the only info I have right now. I'm going to keep looking for a solution as well.

Okay so I have a similar issue except its only been a week and a half since it started. However, my penis does not look as enflammed or irrated but I am most definitely having mild numbness and trouble getting an erection. I had a one night stand with a mutual friend and she informed me after sex that she had herpes but wasnt on an outbreak and was on daily antiviral medication and that I should be fine. She stated she hasnt had an outbreak in over 8 months and that her ex that she dated for a year was fine. I began noticing somthing didnt feel right with my urethra and my penis became very small and hard because of the discomfort. The head of my penis and top of the forskin close to the head burned mildy on and off. I have no very distinguishable "herpes bumps" but still cant get fully hard. I dont know if this will subside so I can eventually get a full erection. Ive been miserable for almost two weeks... any info would help...

I have this exact same problem. Have you figured anything out since you posted?
