Please see a specialist for blood test to check for infection.

Are you taking only Metformin or some other medicine ??

Also check your urine routine & microscopic for Sugar or albumin or some other metabolite !

Metformin only can not cause any such side effects...unless you are taking SGLT2 such as EMPAGLIFLOZIN along with Metformin which can cause such problem s such as UTI.

Or else as suggested by Sandybrown to see a specialist to rule out possible infections .....

What were your blood sugars before and after having your wisdom tooth surgery? If you have surgery-- or other health issues (sick), then the numbers may go up and down constantly and can sometimes cause infections. Please call the doctor for a follow up appointment and let them know what you had told us.

Do you know the name of the antibiotics you took?

Have a look at the paper work that came with the medication.

Men can get yeast infection of the genitals. Yeast organisms are a common cause of infection of the tip of the penis, a condition called balanitis.

Diabetic patients are more prone to fungal infections. Sugar is the best medium for fungal infections. The conditions such as darkness, wet area and heat are necessary for the growth of fungus. Skin irritation is the primary symptom.

Apply clotrimazole cream IP 1% (Canesten or Canesten-S) topically.

It appear to be Belanitis..(1) Wash with plane water gently. Wipe it dry with soft cloth.(2) Apply Betadine solution 2% gently 2-3 times a day.. 5 days..(3) take Tab.Roxid-150 ..1-1 ( 5 days). (4) ointment Onabet is also useful. .This should be enough.... If not effective then Elisa test for Herpese is required..

You need to consult skin specialist

Sounds like a skin infection, should definitely consult with a doctor but can also try washing it 4 times a day with normal-cold water both skin(internal) and penis area.

You could feel difference in 2-3 days

It must be fungal infection. Suggest applying Candid B ointment on your penis. If you've UTI additionally and facing difficulty in passage of urine, better consult the doctor

Yes Candid -B ointment is effective which you can use. Since you are taking antibiotics you are getting side effects and due to diabetes also.
