A member asked:
Can folliculitis on the pubic area cause a burning sensation in the penis' head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: A folliculitis is an inflammation of the follicles usually associated with superficial bacterial infection. Burning of the glans is likely due to another cause - maybe medicine you have been applying to your groin? Burning with urination is a different story and could be related to urinary tract infection or an std.
