Q: post shower last night i had slight burning when i urinated which continued today im vigorous with washing and may have accidentally gotten soap into my penis opening. is this common should it clear on its own?

: You watch the symptom for now + drinking more fluid in the next 24-48 hours. If the urethra is truly irritated with soap, symptom should completely resolve in 24 -48 hours. If symptom persists and urethral discharge occurs, you should see your doctor, especially risk of STD is present. Good luck.
