For the last week or so the head of my penis has been really red and splotchy. The inside of my foreskin also gets a bit stuck on it when I try to roll it back up, as if it's really dry. Is this Balanitis or something else?
Hi mike,
The photo shows quite marked (punctate) balanoposthitis.
Did this develop after sex? If this was with a woman suffering from thrush, then the penile rash could be thrush balanitis.
Get some Canesten (clotrimazole) cream or better still, Daktacort cream and apply twice a day to the glans and underneath the foreskin after washing the area with warm saline water.
Rgds,
Adhari
