Brief Answer:
Appears to be fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at the HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.

As per history it appears you have developed some fungal infection. These are usually due to hygienic conditions. I would suggest you to get urine testing done for fungal elements and fungal and bacterial culture sensitivity. Fluconazole single dose or in pulse therapy for month usually is curative. You can topically apply triple action. Maintain hygiene and practice hand washing.

Hope I answered your query

Brief Answer:
Yes it is safe.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Yes they will require prescription of the doctor.You may visit a dermatologist. It may be available in certain pharmacies you may look around. The triple action cream is safe for application around urethra and has antibiotics, antifungal and steroids. It has to be applied thrice and is available over the counter. Drink plenty of water.

Take care
