Suggest Treatment For Redness And Itching On The Penis

Hi I have a problem with the skin of my penis. If I wash with any shower gel or even intimate wash after few hours my skin and the head of my penish become red and itchy. If I wash only with water within few days becomes is fine but water itself doesn t get rid of smell. I never had that before. I was washing with all kind of shampoos and shower gels before and never had any problem. Is there any cream or something I can buy from the pharmacy with no prescription?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Redness and itching what you are experiencing on your penis could be due to fungal and bacterial infection.
Kindly do the following to overcome the same.
1. Cleanse the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. After drying, apply Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone cream over the affected area.
3. Wear loose fitting undergarments preferably made of cotton.
4. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.
Maintain good personal hygiene.
Gradually, you should be able to overcome the symptoms and be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
