human
Dear sir,I am a married man for approx 1 year.i am finding some itchin in the edge of my penis. I can see some red dots at the tip and around it. every morning when I weak up i see some white covering over it. when i wash it clears, but it seems like the upper layer is going out. after washing I can see some red spots seems like scratches. its happening from last few weeks. I occassionaly do masterbution, but have never gone for sex with any kind of sex worker. i am little worried as it looks purple now and feels little itchy. I can see the red dots also. kindly suggest and guide.

Hello, Candidiasis can develop on the head of the penis. Along with itching under the foreskin and the tip of the penis, this condition can cause burning, redness, a rash, and cottage cheese-like discharge under the foreskin. You may need an over-the-counter or prescription topical cream if home remedies aren’t effective. Steroid creams and hydrocortisone (relieves skin itching, redness, and inflammation) antifungal medication (eliminates fungal infections, including yeast infections). See a doctor if a penis itch is severe or doesn’t improve, or if you have accompanying symptoms like discharge, blisters, pain, or a rash. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr SAMEEN BIN NAEEM, General & Family Physician
