Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Flaky red spots and itching sensation what you are having on the penis could be due to bacterial infection and inflammation of the skin in the region due to poor hygiene. Kindly do the following to overcome the same. 1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily. 2. Use anti-bacterial medicated soaps to take bath regularly. 3. After drying, apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over the lesions. 4. Take Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day to control itching and overcome allergic reactions. 5. Wear loose fitting undergarments to prevent friction and providing proper ventilation. 6. Abstain from sexual activities till the lesions heal completely. Main good personal hygiene. Gradually your symptoms should subside and be back to normal. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
