What Causes Itching And The Redness Around The Rim Of My Penis?

Hi, I'm 32 and having some issues reccently with itching during and after sex. I've noticed the rim around my penis extra red with tiny bumps in some areas. I self diagnosed what I thought could be the problem and took Diflucan. Still observing the redness around the rim of my penis and the bumps as well. The itching has eased up a bit though. Have not had sex since as my girlfriend is on medication. Do you know what could be causing the itching and the redness around the rim of my penis

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read facts of your query and reviewed it in context to your query health issues.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.

Based on the facts of your query the reply of your query is-
Seems to be caused from HPV as the Diflucan has not helped you.
Other causes need to be ruled out like undiagnosed STD infections to reduce the risks to you both,as your girlfriend's medicines are unknown and she is on some treatment.So you have to be careful and need to attend it seriously.

Do's -suggested for your case-
Don't Selfmedicate, as is done now by you- it could complicate your health problem more.
Do Consult Dermatologist besides these suggestions,as things depend on your submissions, which could be different than what you observed.
Good hygiene of the private parts with dettol and proper skin care of the area.Tab Vit B12 / Folic acid to improve fast the recovery.

Stool /Blood Tests and review with dermatologist would be needed if no recovery with initial treatment given, to rule out other causes of it.

Just don't worry and be patient and co-operate with your doctors,till you verify with your attending doctors.
Need to Check with your family Physician / dermatologist if things don't recover.

-Other causes need to be verified with your family GP doctor and team of Specialist doctors, as the facts may be different what you submitted.


-For this Second opinion from PCP-or Gp doctor and if need be with Dermatologist-specialist-is needed who would do proper investigation after proper physical assessment to resolve your health issues.
-for early recovery-please follow above do's which would resolve your complex health issues.

Hope this would help you to treat your health issues in the best way possible.

Welcome for any further query in this regard.
