Suggest Treatment For White Patch On Penis Head

I have a white infection on the penis head skin. Looks like what i might consider a fungus or yeast infection. Guess it must be due to the damp weather. I have been using vagisil recommended by my wife. It got some better but now has stopped improving. Are there any over the counter meds I might try that are more powerful than vagissil. I am 75 and it is not a sexual problem.

If it is a yeast infection, there are over the counter creams for women that are specifically for yeast infections that you could use. Vagisil is not really specific for yeast. Just look in the drugstore for Monistat, or Nystatin, or similar medicine recommended for yeast, which would likely be in the women's care section. If it doesn't improve with that, you might want to see your doctor and get a definite diagnosis. Hope this helps.
