Red Circle On Penis That Started To Grow. Used Travogen. Is It Sugar Related? Or STD?
Hi doctor, Since almost 6 months i have a sort of red circle on penis which started to grow larger, nothing on the top but right under it, i am married and started using condoms right about the same time, might it be sugar related or STD it never happened before, the thing is i started using travogen which is isoconazole nitrate, recently i had to take azithromicine for flu for 7 days, on the 9-10th day i got fever and pain in the lower abdomen ( i am still using the cream for penis) i now suspect that the fungus been irritated somehow, has traveled into the bladder or kidneys, what do you suggest, btw, someone suggested to start ciproxin 500mg once daily for fever and this situation, my question is am i taking the right cream Isoconazole nitrate) and the right anti biotic for the right purpose?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
STDs are characterized by ulcers on the genitalia, rashes, lymph node enlargement, discharge, etc.
The red line can be a rash or an ulcer.
Fungal infection usually presents as discharge and itching.
In case there is any discharge, get it examined to isolate the infectious agent.
In case, it turns to be fungal infection, anti fungal (isoconazole) can be used.
Lower abdomen pain can be due to urinary tract infection (UTI).
The urine should be examined microscopically.
If infection is detected, urine culture should be performed.
Antibiotic sensitivity should be done to select the most appropriate antibiotics for the infection.
If urine is sterile, pelvic ultrasound can be done to look for any abnormality of any organ in the pelvis.
Thanks and take care
