Penile burning sensation is a feeling of burning, redness, warmth or swelling in the genitals, particularly in the penis.This is usually a sign of infection. Wear loose-fitting, breathable underwear and pants in soft fabrics. You don?t want to wear anything that could rub against your penis and irritate it more. Keep your penis clean. Wash it with warm water and soap every day in the shower. If your foreskin is intact, gently pull it back and wash underneath. Also wash the base of your penis and testicles. Watch for a thick, white substance under your foreskin called smegma. If it builds up, bacteria can multiply and cause balanitis. Dry your penis thoroughly. Gently pat? don?t rub ? with a towel.See your doctor if your skin?s draining pus.Your doctor can prescribe an antibiotic cream or ointment to help it heal.
