Patient's question:
The head of the penis has been experiencing a sensation of being red and painful for the past two or three days.Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by fungal balanitis. Rinse the glans and foreskin with physiological saline or a 0.1% rivanol solution to remove dirt. Apply an antifungal ointment, such as clotrimazole ointment or Fungizone ointment. Pay attention to local hygiene to prevent cross-infection.
