Why Is My Penis Flaky And Itchy With Discolouration?
Hello , I have recently had some itching and a kind of flaky patches, with some white discoloration in the foreskin of my penus. I have read that this may be a fungal infection something similar to Jock Itch . I have purchased some Clotrimazole 1% creme at my local pharmacy . Do you think this was a good idea ?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, you can consider using the clotrimazole to see if it helps with the rash. From your description, it is possible that the rash is fungal.
Itching can also occur is the area is irritated by a chemical agent such as soap, lotion, detergents. You should look into any changes you may have made to any of these that may be contributing to the problem.
I hope this helps
