The tip of my penis is red and hurts when it rubs into my boxer when I walk, and it burns a little when I urinate, what is this and what should I do?

Dr. Karim Farah Pulmonology
what you are describing are signs and symptoms of urethritis, which means inflammation of the urethra (the connection of the bladder to the outside which includes the penis.)
you need to see a physician to take a detailed history and perform a physical exam to determine the cause.
most common causes are infectious, specially if you practice unprotected sex, in that case you and your partner(s) need to be treated.
other causes include direct irritant by soap, detergent...or other products which you should stop using
