I HAVE RED SPOTS ON PENIS ...ITCHING BURNING FEELING
Brief Answer:
Possible fungal Infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
Development of red itchy spots over the penile region occurs most commonly due to a fungal infection of the area called candida infection .
Application of an antifungal cream like Canestan cream twice a day over the affected area for two weeks helps .
However if there is any excessive pain or development of fluid filled blisters or ulcers or if there was any outside contact in the recent past , then we will have to rule out a std .
In that case , Please click some close up pictures of the affected area and upload them here on this page . Also provide details like since when you have this problem and when was the contact .
