Hello doctor,
I have a red patch on my penis head that will not go away and gets even more red after sex.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is a form of balanitis called zoon's balanitis or plasma cell balanitis. It is an inflammation of unclear cause but may be due to some allergy or irritant. It causes soreness or burning. You should have mentioned symptoms.

Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
Where can I get tacrolimus?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Tacrolimus is the salt name. Brand name is different in different countries by various companies. Chemist will give you brand of your liking if you tell them salt name (Tacrolimus 0.03% ointment).
