Hi. I am 24 year old male. I have a red shinny spot on penis, it is not painful. I have been using Topical Kortikosteroid and it disappears in 3 days of applying. but it reappears after 2 weeks. what shall I do? should I continue using the cream or is there any other way to get rid of this once and for all.
