Dear Why Does My Penis Stay Sensitive For Days?,

While penis sensitivity is normal (specifically in the head of the penis), hypersensitivity may be a symptom of a medical condition, such as an infection. You did not describe symptoms of pain, discharge, swelling and/or rash. However, since this sensitivity is recurring and seems to be causing you concern, TeenHealthFX feels it is best to schedule an appointment with your physician.  

If you don't have a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist or contact your local teen health center or Planned Parenthood. A Planned Parenthood health center is a good option if you have concerns about cost or confidentiality issues. You can also contact your insurance company for a list of in-network providers.  

TeenHealthFX does not recommend using any over the counter products unless advised by a medical professional.
