I am 20 years old, the tip of my penis (meatus) is red and swollen like lips (check the attached photos please), it has been like this since many years, sometimes the redness/swelling is little more other times is little less, I have never had sex before. There is no pain neither burning sensations, there is no blood when I urinate or ejaculate or even any type of strange discharges, everything feels just normal, sometimes it has an unpleasent smell.

I am uncircumcised and I cannot retract my foreskin all the way back, Lately I've started stretching the foreskin and I am seeing some results by exposing more of the glans. I haven't been cleaning underneath the foreskin before, just lately I've started washing it with water everyday.

    I'm having same problem. Use baby soap to clean it. When you bath clean your gland under the foreskin and dry it tissue or towel. But I'm not a doctor. How many times you masturbate per day? per week? I read several articles about this problem. and I found it's because rough masturbate or sex. Again I'm saying I'm not a doctor. These are I heard from people and read from articles. Hope someone will comment here.

    I have had this problem for a year .

    washed only with lukewarm soapy water because it irritates .

    She only wears cotton underwear and changes every day .

    Avoid alcohol and coffee if you are a consumer.

    try a complex of vitamins and minerals for immunity for example the doctor recommended zinc, selenium, magnesium and vitamins e, I can say that they are somewhat better.

    I recommend that you visit a urologist who is best able to help you.

    did you find any treatment or solution for this currently suffering from the same thing for about 5 months now im only 18 and also never been sexually active i went to the sexual health clinic and he done a urine sample he said it does look inflamed but everything else is okay just the meatus is inflamed and he did know what would have caused it i think it might be down to a irritation of some sort like soap or friction whilst masturbating that may have caused the inflamed meatus

    im currently trying hydrocortizone cream to see if it helps with the inflamation ive only got the cream today hopfully it works
