Possible ulcers/marks inside Urethra
Can you help Please. Since early 2007 i developed a weird sensation inside my penis opening, I went to the doctor who gave me antibiotics tablets for uti infection. After 2 weeks had passed the weird sensation had not passed. I opened the tip of my penis opento reveal a rasied lump with grey/white marks over it to the size of a pin head. this enlarged over a month to the size of 2 pin head, thendied down back to 1 pin head size. In the mean time i visted the STD clinic (twice) and they did all the tests they could, all negative. i explained my syptoms to the clinic who before she looked thought it may be Herpes. When viewed she wasnt sure so she took the viral swab test which was negative. Since this i have been to the doctor on many times who blood tests have been done for inflammation etc. all ok. The pain in the groin comes and goes but the weird sensation is still there most sometimes then others. often when i urinate its very cloudy and steady slow but not fast, other times the urine is strong but clear (i know i dont drink enough). The urolgist had checked and said we will look inside the bladder to see any problems. but he says the lumps are fine, of which i said they never used to be there and have this weird sensation. I think that is may be herpes as the syptoms seems to be spot on or would you say its something else ? The urologist may though it could be a kidney stones that may of passed. But would Herpes ulcers/blister inside stay there for months with weird sensations throughout the day ? It seems that none of the Doctors can say yes to one thing its nearly a 12 month.
gayboi can you let us know what you were diagnosed with and what treatments were used?
Wow i have the exact same symptoms as you. When i look down into my urethra i see a grey-ish ulcer/blister, and i constantly have mild discomfort at the tip of my penis. This has been going on for 2 months. All my STD tests are negative, and the doctor is 50/50 whether or not it's herpes. I'm going to wait another month to get a blood test done again to look determine if it is herpes or not.
Did you find out particularly what was wrong with you and what antibiotics you took, so maybe I can point the doctor in the right direction?

I went to see urologist yesterday again, he said its nothing to worry about it, also he think it is my mind-think too much of it. I know my own body and I know its a problem, it become a big issue for me. please can anyone to help!
I have a similar lesion. I happen to also have psoriasis. I am not surprised if it is some trauma to the skin due to sex etc. At first there was swelling of a little lip of skin around the meatus opening. Then I noticed a pinhole size lesion. Seemed like blood inside. Then a white plaque (psoriasis? but sometimes mucus in your mouth, like you bite your cheek, heals a little white). I notice that if I drink more water, urine is whiter, not as bad, but semen or yellow urine irritate the fukc out of it. I have also experienced kidney stones. I suspect I need to drink more, maybe combination of these factors, such as mucus dried out a little, urine is cloudy due to kidney stones, irritates urethra more, etc. I am hoping drinking more water & time will heal it. I am not sure what good the camera down the urethra will do, it could cause more irritation than was there to begin with. There is nothing they can do for irritation anyway. I suspect antibiotics do not reall do much. Maybe it would heal with time/adequate hydration etc without camera and antibiotics? I am so sick of anyone assuming any lesion to the penis is an std. Makes it hard to deal with this with stigma.
my problem is very similar to gayboi. I am taking Cephalexin and Bactroban cream,for two weeks ,it didn't seem woking for me. I am so frustrated... please I am so desperately for help!
