How Can Ringworm Infection Around The Penis Be Treated?
Hello, I had a ringworm infection, which spread to my penis and penis glans. So, in a trial to treat it, I tried to use clove oil on the glans and it immediately started burning, so I immediately washed it off. And now the glans skin looks like wrinkles. I m just concerned, like have I done any permanent damage, related to glans sensitivity. Thank you.

No you haven't. You just has to take some skean antifungal ointment from a dermatologist, and keep the area dry, because the infection is exacarbated by humidity.
