Red spots on penile head
There are many small red spots on penile head. There's ni itching and no pain whatsoever. And I have used Candid B cream. Whenever I use this cream, the spots vanish. But as soon as I stop applying candid B spots appear again.

Fungal infection.. Also called jock itch, when occurs in groin.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema, bacterial and viral infection, doctor need to see to confirm the diagnosis..So, meet me in my clinic or do direct online consultation by sending photos for detailed information and medicine for treatment.

Greetings. Do not use this cream without the advise of a qualified dermatologist. I would need to see the pictures of the lesion (you may send on follow up chat) to comment on the same along with detailed history. Keep the area dry, do not apply over the counter creams randomly and maintain good hygiene and safe sex practices. Else - the lesion persists / recurs - you may see a qualified dermatologist near you, Warm regards, Dr Govind, Bengaluru
