Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Mr XXXXXXX

Going by the description given by you it is most likely to be Balanoposthitis which is inflammation of glans and prepuce. ( Kindly let me know exact location of red spots )
Exact diagnosis will depend on clinical examination. It would be very helpful if you could get back to me with clinical photograph for further assessment and evaluation.

Awaiting your response

Brief Answer:
It is Balanoposthitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Dear Mr XXXXXXX

It is definitely Balanoposthitis which is usually fungal in origin. It usually gets aggravated by friction during intercourse.

I would suggest you following

1. Hot Seitz Bath: To a tub of lukewarm water add 2 spoons of dettol. Sit in it for 15 minutes each session twice a day.
Thoroughly clean the glans after retracting the prepuce(Foreskin).

2. Dry the area: Apply Candib B Ointment twice a day for 2 weeks

3. Thoroughly clean the area with mild soap and water after urination and sexual intercourse.

Take Care
