Possibilities: Occasionally young males will get either irritation from trauma or a localized infection from simple skin germs at that site. They will often find it easier to pee is a war tub of water if it is painful. Antibiotic ointment after cleaning the site with hydrogen peroxide will often heal the issue in a few days If not, contact his doc.
