Dear Patient,
Thank you for reaching out with your concerns regarding the burning sensation during urination and the skin issue you are experiencing on your penis. It's important to address these symptoms, as they can be indicative of underlying conditions that may require medical attention.

Firstly, the burning sensation you experience after masturbation could be due to several factors. One common cause is irritation of the urethra, which can occur from friction during masturbation. If you are using any lotions or lubricants, it's also possible that you may be having a reaction to those products. Additionally, if there is any infection present, such as a urinary tract infection (UTI) or sexually transmitted infection (STI), this could also lead to a burning sensation. While you mentioned that the burning sensation subsides after a few days, it is still advisable to monitor the situation closely. If the burning persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms such as unusual discharge, fever, or changes in urination, seeking medical evaluation would be prudent.

Regarding the white bumps that resemble pimples on your penis, these could be a few different things. One possibility is that they are pearly penile papules, which are harmless and common in many men. They typically do not require treatment unless they cause discomfort or concern. However, if these bumps are painful, itchy, or change in appearance, it is essential to have them evaluated by a healthcare professional. Conditions such as folliculitis, genital warts, or other skin infections could present similarly and would require appropriate diagnosis and management.

In terms of hygiene, it is crucial to maintain proper genital hygiene to prevent infections. This includes washing the area gently with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals or irritants, and ensuring that the area is dry after washing. If you are concerned about bacteria on your hands, practicing good hand hygiene before touching your genital area is essential.

Lastly, while it is common for young men to experience various skin and urological concerns, it is always best to err on the side of caution. If you have ongoing symptoms or if you notice any changes in your body that concern you, do not hesitate to consult a healthcare provider. They can perform a thorough examination, possibly run some tests, and provide you with a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your needs.

In summary, while some of your symptoms may be benign, it is essential to remain vigilant and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any doubts or if your symptoms persist. Your health and peace of mind are paramount, and seeking medical advice is always a wise choice when it comes to your well-being.

Take care, and I wish you good health.

Best regards.
