What Is The Cause And Treatment For The Itchiness And Redness On My Penis?

Hello doctor, I am a 29 yr old man married for last 2 yrs. Recently I have seen that I have itching and redness on my penis. Also there is a foul smell and discharge on my penis when I pull my foreskin back. This has become quite regular. Pls help. Is there any medication or application of any lotion required? Thank you.

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have itching of the foreskin with discharge from penis .

Many a times this is first presenting symptom of Diabetes .

Please get your blood sugar levels test on empty stomach and 2 hours after lunch done to rue out diabetes.

Your symptoms are mostly due to Muco Cutaneous Genital Candidiasis.
Please take anti fungal medication like Flucononazole twice daily along with topical anti fungal jelly for local application .

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.
