A persistent ulcer at the tip of the penis after taking Doxycycline suggests that further evaluation and treatment are needed, as the ulcer may be due to an infection not fully treated or another cause.
The burning sensation improving with Doxycycline indicates some bacterial infection was addressed, but the ulcer remaining could mean a resistant infection, a viral cause (like herpes), or a non-infectious condition. It is important not to self-treat further without a proper diagnosis.
Consulting a specialist doctor promptly will ensure appropriate treatment and prevent complications.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're experiencing a burning sensation during urination and notice a small ulcer on the tip of your penis. You've also mentioned that Doxycycline helped with the burning sensation, but the ulcer is still present. Please provide your age and gender so that I can provide you with possible guidance.
