What Causes Severe Fungal Infection On The Penis?
I ve been having what I believe to be a fungal infection on the head of my penis, there seemed to be a putrid smell, a white film around the urethra and the outer edges of penile papules where white. Symptoms began to decrease after I began to carefully manage and dry my penis head. However, after applying a liquid Anti-Fungal agent, my penis began to have a burning sensation. Is this normal?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Fungal/ yeast infections can occur in this area , bacterial infections as well.
The careful drying and cleaning would help. Using an antiseptic soap may be helpful as well.
Consider adding a topical antibiotic to the anti fungal agent.
The burning should resolve as healing occurs.
I hope this helps
