Suggest Treatment For Itching On The Head Of The Penis

Dear dr. Due to improper hygiene from last 2-3 days i feel sometimes itchy on the end point of panis because i can t properly clean under the foreskin. Still no redness is there but there might be 3-4 small bumps on it with less amount of inflamation. My question is do you believe I should try some suggested creams and see if it is cured or go to the doctors?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Itching of the penis head could be caused due to infection of the skin over it.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Clean the area by using mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. Apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over it after drying.
3. Take Tablet.Levocetirizine once a day to control itching.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments to avoid friction.
5. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms reduces completely.
Gradually, your symptoms should subside and you should be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
