General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

* As per my surgical experience, the issue of redness with burning in penis indicates balanitis with different possible bacteria or fungal infection.
* Need precise oral antibiotics, antifungal, anti-inflammatory medicines to cure at earliest.
* Clean the genitals with antiseptic liquid, maintain hydration with plenty of liquids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
