What Causes Discoloration On The Head Of Penis With Itching In Genitals?
I am a 30 yr old male. I recently have started suffering from itchyness on my genitals. On the penis there was a small brownish discoloration on the head, only one day, and there was a strong odor for about 2 days. But then I pulled back the foreskin to apply an ointment, and noticed there was red skin, with little red bumps.
I also have a red bump on my scrotum.
I was just tested for STI's and am 100% clean.
I have a lover, but we do not have vaginal or anal penetrative sex.
The itchyness is driving me insane.
I don't think it is a yeast infection, cause I had one before last year and this time it looks different and there is no smegma.

Hi,
It could be due to fungal infection or mixed local infection but you should consult a doctor in person as you said that there is no smegma production and intense itching.
You may require antifungal and antihistaminic medicines which can only be prescribed after seeing the lesion by a doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Fatima Clinic
