Suggest Treatment For Severe Infection On Penis Foreskin
Question: Hello Doctor, I have severe infection on my penis foreskin. This slowly started happening after I had unprotected Anal Sex with my gf. We tried this for the first time, she doesn't have any infection and this is her first relationship. Is this due to bacterial infection? foreskin keeps getting scars and fungus kind of discharge keeps coming. I have tried antibiotics, antifungal tablets or cream! Nothing solves the problem, now I'm in a condition where I'm unable to pull the foreskin down. It's been there for almost 1.5 month's. It's extremely painful and I'm shy enough to visit a doctor. Not sure which doctor to show? I'm based in

Dr XXXXXXX Yes, you have answered my query. 1. I took the medication by my own searching online, I haven't consulted any doctor. I shall follow the medication you have suggested. Yes, if it doesn't recover shall get circumcised after consulting dermatologist.
Recently I had severe throat pain, I took a course of azithral 500 mg then again inflammation increased not sure if this is related. I was shy to consult any doctor about this. Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. I should have been more careful. This online assistance helps most like me.
Now it's almost impossible for me to move my penis foreskin, till last it used to easily slide down.
