How Should Penis Glans Redness Which Persist Be Treated?
I went to my urologist last week with a redness on the underside of the head of my penis. He diagnosed it as a yeast infection, but after a week of an antifungal cream, it has not improved. He didn t think it was a big deal, as it s just red and doesn t give me any pain. Tony

Hi,
The redness can be cured by using antifungals of steroid type instead of using plain antifungals. If you have severe fungal infection, you also have to take oral antifungals along with the local antifungals.
I Hope I have answered your query. If you have further doubts, I would be happy to help you. Happy day.
