What Do You Suggest For A Red And Swollen Penis?
Hi Doc!
My penis and scrotum and the skin around my anus is very red and swollen: In fact all the skin on my penis dried and peeled off but the redness has come back. I have had no sexual contact with anyone besides my girlfriend of 3 years. First symptoms were after I masterbated using saliva but the lubrication was not enough and my penis was a little red after. from there is just got itchy then spread to other areas through scrating. I have had the problem for about 5 weeks now.
thanks for your help

Hi,
from history it seems that you might be having fungal infection on the part.
due to itching there might be having some bacterial infection causing redness and swelling.
Apply anti-fungal lotion or cream locally.
If infection is more go for one course of antibiotic medicine course to control bacterial infection.
Go for oral anti fungal medicine course like Flucanozole.
Keep local hygiene proper.
Ok and take care.
