Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to XXXXXXX forum.

There may be high possibilities of fungal infection at glans penis.
Presence of itching and redness at tip of penis suggests the diagnosis.

Candida albicans is a commensal fungus present in human beings.
It gets proliferated after any sort of breech in immunity. This could be due to fever, anemia, any sort of infections, immuno-suppressive states such as AIDS, chemotherapy induced, during menstruation in females and even sun exposure.
Even antibiotics use may also cause proliferation of fungus.

You should consult with XXXXXXX medicine specialist and should go for thorough check up.
You should apply anti-fungal ointment . You should also take anti-fungal oral preparations also.
Kindly avoid applying soap and water at irritated site.
Body also tries to inhibit the proliferation of fungus by lubrication and lubrication gets removed after repeated soap and water application.
Complete recovery may take 10-14 days.
You should also go for ultrasound imaging studies of testicles to evaluate the cause.

Hope that helps.
Let me know if I can address any more concerns.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava

You can take terbinafine/ itraconazole pills on written prescription from your treating doctor.
