Inflamed and painful penis tip for almost 2 months

Posted , 72 users are following.

Hello,

I've had penis inflammation around the opening and pain for almost 2 months now.  I've tried Clotrimazole, Hydrocortisone, Doxycyline, Rocephin, and seen a Urologist.  My urine analysis had no white cells. I was negative on std panel.  The pain is driving me crazy at this point.  The pain is mainly on the tip where it is most inflamed, though it causes a rash further down the glans.  Any opinions?

      I'd like to know as well. It definitely isnt just in your head, but it may be something our body can just fight off in time and they havent diagnosed it yet.

      out if curiosity how long it take to go away? mine has died down since j started using daktacort but hasnr gone completely, im wondering if it will ever go

      It probably went after 4 months or so. I believe I was making it worse by constantly examining it and touching it. Putting various creams on it also inflamed it more. Especially the anti fungal cream that I was using. I think the more I worried about it the worse it got. I had all the STI tests done over and over again and all came back negitive. For me it was I had to believe that there was nothing wrong and then eventually it went away. I will definitely be more careful next time.

      While it was getting better were you still sexually active/masturbating? If so how often? Im just curious if you had to abstain or did it get friction every few days? I feel like if i could abstain for 3 weeks it would clear up but thats basically an impossible feat unless there was some hormone off switch ha

      for me, sex or "friction" don't bother it. In fact during one of its bouts that it was being more irritated, I had sex and it was a lot better the following 3 days, but it has no pattern.

    hey man sorry you’ve been dealing with this. I started having the exact same thing happened about four or five months ago. i mean EXACTLY, im also uncut and mine looks red and has lines all through it/swollen urethra just like yours. The itching inside the urethra and the burning on urination was so bad there for a while i about couldnt take it. anyway I don’t know if this will shed light on your situation but I urge you to ask your doctors if they can somehow do a urine test for chlamydia a bit differently. i was tested 2-3 times since august, all negative. But a couple weeks ago i got paperwork from my doctor on this last urine analysis, and it ahows that im positive for chlamydia. I did have unprotected sex with a girl around September when this first was starting but I had multiple rounds of antibiotics, the rocephin shot, and zero sexual partners for months.. so somehow this thing can lie dormant or even evade the tests. i’ve been taking 500 mg of Levaquin for 6 days now, and although the red, dry glans havent changed much, i can actually pee comfortably now, and the itching/burning is 95% better, and the peehole looks almost normal. Also I have a question, does it look way redder/shiny/wrinkly when you get an erection or if you masturbate or something? because mine does. it doesnt hurt if i do so now, but itches mildly and my glans look awful afterwards lol Hang in there man we can get through this somehow!! Feel free to message me on here anytime

      I'm over 3 months in and it comes in waves, but it seems like the only thing helping is time.

      What started yours? Did you get tested?
