Penile Fungal/Yeast infection
Hello Respected Madam/Sir
I have been showing symptoms of Penile Yeast infection ( small red and whitish spots on penis head- very few in number) and inability to pull back foreskin when erect( I was able to pull it fully back before). Upon forcefully pulling it back when erect, results in small skin tears in penis tip skin. I dont have any STD, and therefore the only possible cause should be yeast infection ( can be balantis too).
Will it be suitable to apply the non prescription itch guard cream on penis tip and surrounding foreskin for this issue?
If it were to be confirmed yeast infection, what cream or dusting powder would you recommend?
