Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You may have candidiasis infection in your penis. It is common in female but it can occur in male also.

Treatment is topical or oral anti fungal drugs.

Oral fluconazole or ketokonazole can be taken.

Creams are applied topically (directly onto the affected area), usually once a day for three to seven days.

Good hygiene is very important to treat fungal infection.

Help to clear up an infection by washing the penis carefully with warm water.

After washing, dry the penis carefully to deprive the fungus of the damp conditions that help it to thrive.

Wear loose-fitting cotton underpants to help keep the skin and penis dry and cool.

Check for blood sugar level once. Because diabetes increase the chance of fungal infection.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
