Hello,

You may be suffering from balanitis. It is inflammation typically caused by infections or chronic skin conditions. Improper hygiene can contribute to skin irritation. Both inadequate cleansing and too much cleansing can add to this problem. The condition is often caused by an overgrowth of either bacteria or yeast.

Avoid irritants that aggravate this problem. Use candid B local gel twice a day for five days.

If symptoms do not improve, please consult your dermatologist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
