Can Intake Of Antibiotics Cause Inflammation Of The Penis Head?
Recently I have had my tonsils removed, just about 4 days ago they somehow got infected and bled everywhere so I had to go back to hospital, I got prescribed stronger antibiotics and a strong anti-inflammatory, about three days after taking these pills the head of my penis has started to look extremely dry and the skin is able to be peeled off, and when it does the skin is left very red, not painful or itchy though, should I be worried?

Hi,
Yes, there are chances of fungal infection when you take strong antibiotics or antibiotics for long. Local anti-fungal cream application can help you. Share a picture for confirmation.
