Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Are Itchiness And Soreness At The Base Of The Penis A Concern?
I have been having itchiness on the base of my penis, I didn t see any sores or anything, just redness accompanied by itching. Scratching seems to make the itching more prevalent. This has been going on for a couple days and today the itchy feeling has seen to subside a little bit but now I m starating to see dry circles of skin around the bottom of my penis, almost like if a sunburn were healing. I m not sure what would have caused this.
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that you need to consult a physician for physical evaluation of male candidiasis. Till then you can use candid cream topically twice a day.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards Dr Bhanu Partap
