What Causes Inflammation And Discoloration On The Penis?

I have a burning irritation and discoloration on the head and shaft of my penis for about 4 days now. I believe it to be connected to an unfortunate incident with an auto-flushing toilet. It does not burn when I urinate. Some sort of bacterial or maybe fungal infection?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Irritation and discolouration what you are having on your penis could be due to fungal 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 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,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
