I'm on my fifth and final month of accutane. I'm about 170 pounds and a sophomore in highschool. Over the corse of treatment I had 60, 80, 80, 100, 100 mg doses per day with the respective months in that order. I noticed however that in the middle of my second 80 month that the tip or opening of my penis became inflamed. At first I thought maybe I did something else to irritate it and it would subside but it never did. I've never had intercourse yet orally or otherwise so I can't imagine it's an std. I've gotten zits in odd places throughout treatment which would lead me to believe that the accutane could have soothing to do with this? I've tried Vaseline and awuaphor and neosporin but none of then reduce the inflammation. It doesn't hurt to urinate or otherwise but the sensitivity increases after urinateming or otherwise. Has anyone else had this problem?

If you think there is slight swelling or redness that has been there for a notable amount of time (like over 2 weeks) I would just go and see a Dr straight away. It could be something like a urinary infection, not necessarily to do with the medication, but either way your Dr should know and be able to treat it. Sexually active or not, I really dont think reproductive organs are something you should chance it with!
