Hello,

Welcome to the forum.

I can comprehend your concern for the present situation.

After reading your complete query with diligence I can make out that you are suffering from recurrent candidal (fungal) infection of the glans penis area.

Fungal infections are common type of infections which can involve anybody at any site. But more commonly it involves the areas which are moist areas (as in your case).

More specifically this is linked to the hygiene especially in uncircumcised males.
So in case of unprotected sexual intercourse if the area is not washed properly or later on if the hygiene is not maintained properly anybody can get the infection again. So the same thing is in your case too.

For the management of the same kindly follow the suggestions below:

- Wash your penile area for two times in a day. You can use a mild soap to wash the area.

- After every sexual intercourse too, wash the area properly.
- It is quite very important to check for infection in your partner too.

- You can apply latest anti-fungal creams such as "Sertaconazole" or "Luliconazole" or "Amorolfine" and take latest anti-fungal tablets according to medical advise.

My best wishes for good health.
