Foreskin Burn

I had caught Chlamydia in June and was treated, in October i started to have a burning bellend so went the docs and a swab found i had Thrush, i was treated for thrush but since ive havent been able to get rid of the tip of my foreskin burning. I was given more antifungal meds which seemed to help a little but the discomfort came back. I have no other sympthoms other then very slight redness at times on my foreskin where the burning is. My doc did another swab which all came back negative but 4 months later i am still suffering sore foreskin.

I coat it in vasline now as it was suggested it could be chafe which i admit does help alot but i still suffer the stinging and its massively effecting my sex life and general mood now.

Can anybody help or suggest further on this matter?

Hi, the symptom you're describing does not suggest that the chlamydia is still present. However, it could be herpes. Does your partner have herpes? Speak to your GP about it

Nope, neither of us have herpes. The GUM dont think its STI related so ive been referred back to my GP.

Im starting to convince myself its a form of Balanitis.

I'll mention herpes to the doc though, thanks
