Question: Hello Doctor,

I am having a problem in my penis. there is a strange itching on my penis head. when i pull my foreskin back i see sperm on it and then wash. then again after 4-5 hrs i was the sperm. Sometimes the itching is on the foreskin head also which causes some redness and rashes on it. i can feel the itching inside my penis on its head. Also while urinating sometimes i feel a burning sensation. I am a virgin till now. Not married. my age is 28. This is happening since 1 week. Can you please help me.

Mild fungal infection ,take treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
You seem to have developed a fungal infection of the area called candida.
keep the affected area clean and dry .
Wash the affected area with lukewarm saline water twice daily. Apply a topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole over the affected area twice daily .
Use the medicine regularly for atleast two weeks for complete cure.
You might a course of oral antifungals like fluconazole if the lesion tends to persist or increase.

Hope it helps

Brief Answer:
Apply the topical drug only

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Clotrimazole is a topical medicine ,available as a cream ,to be applied over the affected area twice daily .
Itraconazole is an oral antifungal drug used in severe and resistant cases of fungal infections ,so you might not need it right now.
