What Causes Burning While Urinating And Rash On The Head Of Penis?
I have a rash on the head of my penis/irinary meatus it started about 2 wks ago. I thought it was an alergic reaction to the condom. 3 days later it I had painful/burnig urination and itchyness. I applied a triple antibiotic ointment it made it worse. I am using clotrimazole 1% and with in 5 days it was all gone, but I read on line that for a fungul infection I would have to use the oinment for 4 wks and now that is has been 2 full weeks it looks like it is starting to come back, but now there is no pain when urinating but it is itchy.

Please take anti fungal medication like Fluconozole twice daily along with topical anti fungal jelly for local application which has to be used for 2-3 weeks.
