Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The greyish spot on the glans gradually increasing in size seems to be due to a fungal infection. It is called tinea cruris. If proper treatment is not taken, it keeps on recurring.
Usually ointment like Betamil GM alone is sufficient for minor infections.
Sometimes application of one topical antifungal is not sufficient and a combination of two and more antifungals are needed until the itch disappears.
One has to continue application for 2 weeks after the itch disappears.
Co-existing dermatitis, diabetes and low immunity, also needs to be ruled out.
You can consult your dermatologist for stronger prescription medicines and oral anti fungal agents.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
I am sorry I currently have no legal support to prescribe medicines online. The scripts that an online physician writes are not accepted at your local pharmacy. It is not yet recognised by the American Telemedicine association norms. This is because any pharmacy should enter the physician licence number before dispensing the drugs.
I am bound by the rules of law to not to give any online prescriptions. Hence you will have to see the physician for the medicines that you require.

Sorry for not being to be of assistance to you at this point of time.

Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you a trouble free speedy recovery.
