Additionally, you should apply a topical antibiotic cream like Neosporin on the burned area of your penis to prevent infection. It is important to drink plenty of water to help with urination and flush out any potential infection. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
