What causes a red patch on the penis that worsens after sex?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It appears to be a form of balanitis known as Zoon’s balanitis or plasma cell balanitis. This condition is a type of chronic inflammation that affects the glans penis, primarily in uncircumcised men. While the exact cause remains unclear, it is often linked to chronic irritation, allergies, or an underlying inflammatory reaction. Factors such as poor hygiene, excessive moisture, or prolonged exposure to irritants like soaps, detergents, or latex may contribute to its development.

The condition typically presents with red, shiny, well-defined patches on the glans, sometimes accompanied by mild soreness, burning, or discomfort. However, since you did not mention any specific symptoms apart from the diagnosis, it is important to assess whether you are experiencing itching, pain, discharge, or other associated issues.

Diagnosis is often based on clinical examination, but in some cases, a biopsy may be required to confirm the condition and rule out other causes, such as infections or precancerous lesions. Treatment may involve topical steroids, antifungal creams, or good hygiene practices. In persistent cases, circumcision may be considered.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Tacrolimus is the salt name. The brand name is different in different countries by various companies. The chemist will give you the brand of your liking if you tell them the salt name (Tacrolimus 0.03 % ointment).

I hope this helps.
