What Causes Irritation On The Penile Shaft?

For about a week or so now I have noticed a slight penis irritation on the shaft - like pale white dry skin. It s not red or anything so I don t think it is an std but it s uncomfortable. Can I use clotrimazole 1% cream or betnovate for that? Last time I had sex was like 6 weeks ago and I had no problem until a week ago. I don t understand where it s coming from

Hello,
welcome to healthcare magic.
I am Dr Nirav.

As per your query, you have an irrtaion.

The reason for it may be reproductive tract infection.

It may be gonorrhoeal infection or Chlamydia infection most commonly.

So you should take proper antibiotics for it.

only a cotrimazole cream will not help you to improve.

Have a better health.
