    Try using some moisturiser like coconut oil or shea butter. The tip can be irritated when it rubs against your underwear.

    This kind of balanitis is posted often here, but seems like no doctor has figured out how to treat it. It appears to always be accompanied with urethral redness/inflammation and mainly affects men with lighter colored skin.

    Probably combination of something dermatological and bacterial/fungal along the urinary/reproductive tracts. Maybe even a new resistant bacteria or fungus, hence why traditional treatments aren't effective.

    What's the background behind this? Did it start randomly? Did you have unprotected sex? Any skin or overall health conditions that you are aware of?
