He thinks he recently had a bladder infection, he also told me the head of his penis is red and irritated. what could it be?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms are suggestive of fungal infection. The fungus are the normal commensals of the genitals which will be kept under control by helpful organisms.

Whenever there is imbalance in the environment these fungus will activate and produce the symptoms of fungal infection.

For your fathers condition I would suggest to follow
1.Keep the are clean and dry
2.Topical application of anti fungal cream like Oint Micanazole.
3.Single dose of oral Diflucan, 150 mg.
4.Urine routine and culture.
Thank you.
