These symptoms often point to balanitis, a common and easily treatable inflammation of the penis tip, usually caused by a yeast or bacterial infection. If it is a yeast infection, an over-the-counter antifungal cream containing clotrimazole or miconazole can help relieve the itching. If it is bacterial, a mild antibiotic cream may be required. However, because pain during urination can also indicate a urinary tract infection, it is highly recommended to see a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis before starting treatment. Meanwhile, keep the area clean with warm water and dry it gently. Don't worry, this is a very common issue and heals quickly with the right care.
