Could The Pain On The Foreskin And Soreness Be Due To Psoriasis?

hi i have started to get psyrisos on my elbows and think it may have spread to my penis cause lately the foreskin has became really painful and sore to the point were the top of the foreskin barely moves and is reslly tight and when i try to have intercourse it ends up splitting and leaving loads of cuts. i have been to the doctors and he gave me steroids and antibiotics but as soon i stopped taking them it came back i was wondering if you had any advice as its starting to affect all aspects of my life.

Hello
Thanks for query.
Based on the facts that you have narrated I would state that you have fungal infection of the foreskin(Muco Cutaneous Genital Candidiasis).

Many a times this is presenting symptom of Diabetes.Please get your blood sugar levels test done to rule out diabetes.

Please take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexime along with anti fungal medication like Fluconazole twice daily orally and topical anti fungal jelly like Candid for local application over foreskin.

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.

Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.
