The top of my penis is red and inflamed. There is no other pain except when it is touched. There is some swelling. It seem to be bad for a while off and on but am now at the beach and when I left the ocean it got a lot worse
Are you circumcised? It is possible that you have balanitis, which is an inflammatory condition that can be caused by poor hygiene, yeast infection, or bacteria. Another possibility is if you have had an injury. In general, swelling means that there could be an infection, so it’s best to see a doctor to clear it up, since antibiotics might be necessary. It probably hurts more after going in the ocean because of the salt water. You can try a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to help the skin heal (just don’t apply it to open sores) and help to prevent future problems.
