Some Sort Of An Infection On The Head Of Penis, Becomes Red, Itchy With White Discharge. Taking Forcan. Permanent Cure ?

Hello, I have some sort of an infection on the head of my penis . The head turns red, with some sort of white discharge and is very itchy. Despite cleaning regulary, in a few days the foreskin also develops cracks. I have taken Forcan TZ and this clears up the infection practically overnight. Is there any permanent cure for this condition? Note: I am a married man of 32 years and am totally loyal to my wife. This problem started after the birth of my son who is now 3 years old.

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail.
It seems to be a fungal infection, although we will require a physical examination or at-least some photographs to comment with certainty. Fungal infections are very resistant and they do take take to heal. It has to be a longer course than one day medication. Do consider visiting a skin specialist. Fluconazole in long term therapy can be a good alternative for you.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
