What Causes Itching On Penis Tip?
Question: Hi , I have some itching on my penis tip and also few tiny red spots in the head of penis. Also, there are some white deposits on those area. I have started having this itching for past 10 days, when we had intercourse. Now, my wife is pregnant (40days). She was having some vaginal infection around 30 days back, which was already treated. Is that anything needs to be worried for the new baby or wife? why is this itching
Brief Answer:
It is due to infection of glans and foreskin.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have developed infection of the foreskin and glans penis following unprotected sex with your wife who is known to have vaginal infection.
Itching is presenting symptom of Diabetes at this age .Hence get your blood sugar levels on empty stomach and 2 hours after lunch done to rule out diabetes.
Get swab test and culture of secretion from glans done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.
Continue taking antibiotics that you are taking now along with anti fungal medication like Fluconazone and topical anti fungal jelly (Fluconazole)for local application.Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.
