Hello
Thanks for your query .
Based on the facts and photographs that you have posted it appears that you have acute infection of foreskin (Posthatitis.)

This is mostly due to involvement of your foreskin in existing Chlamydia infection that you have .

You need to continue taking Erythromycin along with anti inflammatory medication like Diclofenac twice daily .

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.

Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.

It should get cured within a week .

thank you very much, this has helped. my chlamydia antibiotics was only for one dose of azithromycin 1000mg. does this mean that i will still be cured, or will this encounter mean i will have to go through the treatment process again?
