Rubbing alcohol can burn when used on an irritated area. If it continues or you have burning with urination or discharge from your penis, you should see your doctor to be sure there is no infection. Sometimes applying Aquaphor to irritations can help to heal them meanwhile.

Alcohol,would irritate the glans on direct contact but would not continue to burn a week later. Best to have an exam to make certain you did not acquire a sexually transmitted disease, and determine for certain the cause of this discomfort. Good luck
