Itching And Red Rashes On Foreskin And Penis. Medicine Helped With Itching But Not Rashes. What Is It? Treatment?
2 days before I had itching on my fore skin(not circumcised)
then. I noticed red rashes on the head of my penis.
I applied a cream that I bought over-the-counter in a pharmacy. In one night, the itching stopped.
But yesterday, when I saw, the red rashes did existed still but without itching. Even today I notice that.
What is this and what should I do to recover from this?

Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have developed Muco cutaneous candidiasis of your genitals.
Since this is very common in diabetic person get your blood sugar levels on empty stomach and 2 hours after lunch done to rule out the diabetes.
Take anti fungal medicines orally along with anti fungal topical gel for local application.
Consult your family Physician to get prescription of these drugs.
