I'm experiencing a burning sensation and pain at the tip of my penis every time I use the toilet. I've seen a doctor and they did an ultrasound which came back normal. I also visited a urologist who said there's no major issue, but I'm still having these symptoms despite taking medication. What should I do?

Why is the head of my penis so dry? I'm having trouble pulling the back skin upwards after rolling it down, though that part is easy. Plus, the ring of my penis is turning more red and patchy. What's going on with that?

Use an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice a day on the affected area for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants such as harsh soaps or perfumed products, can help with healing. If symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
