Hi! Recurrent infections in the penis may be a sign of high blood glucose. Please get your blood glucose checked. A steroid ointment alone will only give temporary
relief as it will simply suppress inflammation.Common causes of such infection are-lack of hygiene (leading to accumulation of a whitish substance called smegma), fungal infection (thrush), bacterial infection(streptoccoci), sexually transmitted infections (herpes, chlamydia, etc). Allergy to soap or shower gel may also irritate the penile skin.Do write in for more information. All the best!
