So I have been dealing with an issue for over 6 months now. The head of my penis is inflamed looking and it hurts to peel the foreskin back. I've used lotrimin, and I've tried coconut oil (antifungal), and I've taken flucanazole medication and nothing has helped. I even tried going on an intense candida diet which eliminated all potentially inflammation inducing foods. I've tried to get circumcised before but my health insurance didn't cover it so it was too expensive.
I know the lotrimin box says not to use for more than two weeks, but I've been using it for several months. I feel like it's better than doing nothing.
If I don't use anything to treat my penis it doesn't get better and just feels dry and painful. However, I'm worried that by using a cream all the time I'm suffocating it or if there's an infection, It's building up an immunity.
I've been to several doctors, from planned parenthood and free clinics, to a really good doctor that I was able to see when my dad had a short lived job with good insurance. They've all said that it didn't look serious and that it would clear up, and it never has.
I seriously am starting to think that it will never go away.
For reference I am 21, any advice is deeply, deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance!
