Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic

I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query.

I will keep a possibility of candidal balanoposthitis, however, i would like to be more sure about my diagnosis after having a look at it.
Ideally, a skin specialist should look into this issue.

I request you to kindly upload a photograph of the affected area so that I am able to understand the condition better and guide you better.

I would also like to gather more information from you regarding your query.

-Do you have any associated symptoms like itching, pain etc?
-Are the cuts oriented vertically or are they oriented horizontally/along the circumference of penis?A picture would help in determining that.
-Is there difficulty in retracting the prepuce?
-Does you girlfriend also complains of vaginal discharge or vulval itching?
-Does it usually happen every time you have intercourse with her?

Regards

Sir ,
I have visited a dermatologist . He advised fr VDRL test , HIV test and blood sugar test.
Result:
VDRL : negative
Hiv : negative
Blood sugar normal
Doctor diagnosed it as balnopsithis & prescribed doxycline alongwith anti fungal cream. But the recovery is slow.

My question is i am not recovered completely . Taking medicines . Can i do sex with my girl friend & if i use condom as contraception can she ll be infected.
