What Causes Redness And Cracked Skin On Penis?
I've had a problem with redness and cracking skin on my penis. I've tried every OTC antifungal preparation with no real improvement for several years now. Intercourse is painful because the stretched skin splits just behind the head if there's any friction at all.

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to fungal infection, dryness of skin
I would suggest to consult dermatologist and undergo examination to confirm cause.
Following treatment will help you:
Tablet itraconazole for 4-6 week
Application of terfinadine ointment
Apply man 1 man oil formula
Wear pure cotton loose inner wear
Avoid sweating and change inner wear after workout
Maintain proper hygiene
Use K-Y water based gel during intercourse
Treatment of partner also required
Drink plenty of water and do regular exercise
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
