What can cause itch, redness and pain at the tip of penis?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have had an itchy and reddish private part for the last two months. I have pain at the tip of my penis and during intercourse. I consulted a doctor, who suggested AF-Kit to me. After taking this for one month, it was just perfect. But the symptoms returned again.

I tried AF-Kit, but this time, the symptoms did not go away completely. Hence, after three weeks again, I took the AF-Kit, but symptoms still persist.

Please suggest how to overcome this issue.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for your query on this platform.

You are suffering from a fungal infection, candidiasis, which is notorious for recurrence. The common causes of recurrence are low immunity, diabetes, and improper antibiotic use.

I suggest you apply Clotrimazole cream, available as Candid cream, twice a day on the lesion.
Take your AF-Kit (a combination of Fluconazole 150 mg, Azithromycin 1 g, and Ornidazole 750 mg) as well.
In case of severe itching, take an antihistamine once a day.
Keep the area dry and clean, wear loose-fitting cotton undergarments, do not use perfumed soap, eat a healthy and balanced diet, and drink lots of water.

I would also suggest that you check your fasting blood glucose for diabetes.

I hope it helps.

Thank you.
