Red patch on glans

2020-05-03 18:54:02
Hello doctors, For almost 8 months, I notice a red patch on the Glans after sexual activity which becomes red and shiny if dried up(I have uncircumcised penis). i consulted doctors and they advised me antifungal creams and steroid creams along with antifungal tab(Fluconazole), the steroid creams did remove the redness very fast, but as i indulge in the activity again, the redness appears instantly after the sexual activity. While this is on the glans, underneath the foreskin at the area where glans and shaft are connected, I feel intensive itching, and due to itching or maybe some infection, that patch has become a little thick and shiny, that is the only part where i feel itching. Is it a bigger concern to consult a different speciality of doctor? Any suggestions if any doctor had come across a similar situation? Attaching references.

From the history and clinical picture, there is a possibility that you are having balanitis..It can be due to an infection probably yeast(need to check infection in partner), or due to irritants like soap or due to allergy. Pl avoid soap for the time being on the genitalia. If you feel that the lesion is thick, then you might require further evaluations. There is no harm in continuing antifungal creams, but steroid cream use should be done only as per medical advice.
