Does This Know As Balanitis?
Question: I am male, I had an outbreak of thrush, that has left me with redness around the head of my penis, including a red spot on the head of my penis that temporarily disappears when pressed. Does this sound like balanitis? I do not have an STD/STI, although I did contract herpes over 20 years ago.
