Red Spots With White Covering Were Observed On My Penis Head

default
Posted on Tue, 18 Jun 2024
Question: Sir, I'm 40 Male, Non Diabetic, Non HTN, With Hypothyroid on 25mcg of Thyroxine.
Some 2-3 small pin head sized red spots with white covering were observed on my penis head. Later they started expanding in size with white border and red flat inside. The white boder is easy to peel off. No blood or pus or liquid inside. Is it a Candida infection. How to treat this. Can you please prescribe any OTC medication.
Thankyou Sir.
