I'm having some trouble and really need some advice. For about a week now, I've been experiencing a heavy pain and a burning sensation when I pull the skin back on my penis. It also hurts the same way when I urinate and even when I go potty. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure whether I should see a dermatologist or a sexologist about this. Could you guide me on which doctor would be the best to consult?

You may be experiencing symptoms of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. It is important to consult a Urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relief medication like Ibuprofen and drink plenty of water to help with the burning sensation.

While conservative management (like pain relievers and scrotal support) is often sufficient for mild cases, persistent pain warrants further evaluation. A second opinion can offer different perspectives and treatment options, including potentially exploring embolization, a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure
