Suggest Remedy For Redness And Blisters On Penile Shaft
Question: I am over 60 and I woke up last week with a redness on the shaft of my penis I also had blisters the blisters went away the same day but the redness has not went away, yesterday the skin was getting flaky today the redness is there with some brown color, what could this be, I have had no sex of any kind for over 3 months.
Brief Answer:
possible fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
It may have been just allergic dermatitis which is vanishing now an dusually it ends with skin flaking. But it may also be fungal infection so I suggest to apply local antifungal agent such as Nistatin for few days to see will it improve. It is not likely to be STD bit if symptoms persist, tests should be done. Wish you good health. Regards
