i have had "balanitis" for like 3 years now. i got to admit,i did have unprotected sex around the time it started,and my hygiene back then was terrible.i used to wash every once in 2 or 3 days depending if i had sex or not. i always masturbated dry and didnt completely clean after i was finished.
I have went to a lot of doctors,most said its balanitis and prescribed me some clotrimazol,which worked a bit but the redness came back...an urologist said its nothing to worry about and told me to get nidoflor...now i have tried baneocin powder in the morning and fucidin at night from my dermatologist's recipe but it didnt really work...sometimes red spots come and go which concerns me. in the last 2 weeks,as if the red gland wasnt enough,the skin under it and also the scrotum became red and the scrotum itched very much...now it doesnt but the head of the penis does now..i used to wash with baby shampoo but now i only use water...i dont know what to do please help me
the penis is a very self sufficient organ and up until recently, when oral sex became a thing, we didnt care about how it smelled- it was for sex only and unless you were having issues you didnt clean it very often.
I cant see any problems in your pictures but with it but with the itching and the redness I wouldnt be surprised if you had a yeast infections- something not cleared up by antibiotics. women are very known for passing yeast along especially because most of the time they dont know they have it. you can get seen by your doctor again and get something for a yeast infection or go to your local pharmacy and get something used for yeast infections- it’s usually advertised for women but it can be used for men as well. treat this like a sti because you can and will pass it to other female partners and you will keep passing it back and forth if only one of you is being treated for it
