13 Yr Old, Light Redness Around Glands, Painful When Erect And While Peeing. Fungal Infection ?
My 13 year old teenage son has slight redness around his glans . This is painful mainly when he has an erection and initially when he starts to pee. he has advised me he has just started to masturbate recently. could this be a fungal infection . He is very reticent to go to the dr and i wondered if there is anything we could put on it like sudocrem in the meantime.i am ensuring he has a warm bath every day and washes that area pulling back the foreskin .

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Yes he might have developed fungal infection.
The area of groin is very moist and is prone to develop these infections.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.
Various antifungal powders like candid are availabe.
These can help reduce the moisture as well as control the infection.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
