Itchy red dots on my penis are getting increased in number. What to do?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

From the history, it seems you have developed candidal balanitis. It is a kind of fungal infection of the genitals. Do you have any discharge? I need to see the rash, as such bumps can occur due to multiple other causes. Kindly revert with a photograph so I can provide you definitive diagnosis and suggest treatment.

Regards.

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I have seen the photographs (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Yes, this is candidal balanitis. It is a fungal infection of the glans caused by yeast in which such red spots occur associated with itching. Do not worry. It is a very common infection in males. It can occur due to sexual contact or poor hygiene. Take tablet Fluconazole 150 mg single tablet and Fexofenadine 180 mg daily at night for seven days. Apply Clotrimazole cream at night for three weeks. It will be resolved with these medicines. Kindly follow up in three weeks.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards.

I understand your concern.

It has been 15 days, and you stopped medicine five days back. So you applied cream for ten days only. That is why asked you to apply cream for three weeks to avoid recurrence. Please apply cream for two more weeks to treat this. Do not worry.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards.

It is okay. Now, apply for two weeks. Do not worry. It will resolve. Stay safe.

I understand your concern.

Please answer these for a better understanding:

1. How frequently do you get redness?

2. Do you have itching also?

For redness, I suggest you apply Tacroz 0.03 % (Tacrolimus) cream in very small quantities only at night for two weeks. Do not worry.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards.

I understand your concern.

That may be due to increased blood circulation after a hot shower and masturbation. Apply this Tacroz cream, and that will give you relief.

Revert in case of queries.

Kind regards.
