Suggest Treatment For Redness And Irritation Around Penile Head

I have some redness / skin irritation around the head of my penis. My family Dr. said it wasn t herpes and instead prescribed some anti fungal cream. It has been two weeks and is better, but hasn t gone away. Should I see a dermatologist instead? Or just give the cream more time?

Hi,
You might be having fungal infection or bacterial infection due to not cleaning smegma properly.
Clean the smegma by averting fore skin daily while taking shower.
Go for one oral anti-fungal medicine course like Flucanozole.
Keep local hygiene clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
