Brief Answer:
Fungal infection of the affected area: various suggestions.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

After analyzing the pictures along with your details I can get that you have fungal infection of the affected area.

Fungal infections are common type of infections which can affect anybody at any site. But more commonly it affects the areas which are more prone for sweating or moist areas (as in your case). More specifically these are related to the hygiene and environmental factors.

Due to hot and humid climate or due to tight and synthetic clothing or because of humidity and moisture,it leads to growth of fungus at any part of the body. Additionally persons who have bit excess of sugar are also prone for the growth of fungus.

For the betterment kindly follow the suggestion below:

- Keep your self away from hot and humid climate.

- Take two times bath.

- Wear cotton clothes and cotton undergarments to be changed two times a day. Do not wear any synthetic or tight garments.

- Do cold compression or warm water compresses according to the weather condition.

- Do not sit continuously for long hours.

-In my patients I suggest them to apply an anti-fungal creams such as "clotrimazole" or "Sertaconazole" or "Amorolfine " and take anti-fungal tablets according to medical advise.

-For itching in my patients I suggest them to take oral anti histamine like loratadine or levocetrizine two times a day under medial advise.

-Don't try to scratch or rub the area as can lead to further aggravation of the problem.

- You can use any good antiperspirant powders daily to avoid future infection.

You can take further guidance form a treating doctor.

I hope these information's will help you. If you have further queries I will be happy to help.

"Wish you good health and early recovery from the problem"

Brief Answer:
Medications never cause any damage to penis.

Detailed Answer:
Dear young fellow,

Welcome back to the forum and thanks for your further follow up. The creams and tablets I have mentioned are prescription based medications and you need to visit a doctor to get these prescribed. These are one of the safest medication for your kind of infection and never cause any damage to penis. Please do not try any self medication as can harm you. If not treated early then have chances of further spread to other body parts.

Do not apply itchguard as these kind of creams contains irritant material and steroids which can irritate the skin and can cause further recurrences.

Maintaining hygiene is one of the way to prevent further spread as well as further recurrences. So medications are quire necessary to get rid of the situation.

I hope these information's will help you. If you have further queries I will be happy to help.
