Suggest Treatment For Severe Fungal Infection In The Penis
Hi Doctor, At first which specialist doctor should i consult for penis infection?, I have had the infection like small red patches 3months back for few days which disappeared after using antifungal cream, and later developed smegma like thing for few days that disappeared after regular wash. Now for few days i have the infection like many tiny white bumps with red patches under the fore skin. Iam considering to wash twice daily and use antifungal cream also consuming probiotic yogurt. Please let me know if am missing to do something and what kind of infection would this be based on the symptom.

Hello
Thanks for query .You had red patches over over penis and you have been using topical anti fungal cream for local application assuming it to be due fungal infection
The tiny whit bumps underneath foreskin are most likely to be due to infection of foreskin .(Posthatitis)
You need to consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done .
1) Swab test and culture of fluid from the bumps
2) Routine urine test .
In the mean while start taking
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefixime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily .along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.
Continue to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily and maintain proper personal genital hygiene
