Looks and sounds like penile thrush. You can get some canestan anti fungal cream over the counter at the pharmacy. It should clear within a week. If not you should show your doctor. Don't be embarrassed. This is a common problem andoing they will see thus day I'm day out. Hope it clears up buddy.

Hey thanks! What about the white dots on the edge of head?

The white spots might be the healing phase. I got the same thing for years called balantitis. Circumcision was recommended by the urologist.

Try micronazole cream. Should go away after 2 or 3 days

I found a cure for myself.

After suffering with this for 2 months and trying suggestions I found here at healthunlocked.com, which failed for me, I went to a private doctor, this is the 2 things I found worked:

1) Applied Iodine by Betadine 60ml, but any Iodine solution will do. It's a brown liquid and you mix it with around 50ml or so cold to warm water (not hot), until the solution looks like the consistency or a strong English Breakfast tea. Place the penis head into this solution for 5 minutes. Do this twice a day.

2) Secondly, a prescription to antibiotic Doxycycline at 100mg x 28 capsules. I took one twice a day for 2 weeks.

This worked for me! Although, due to getting this remedy in parts, I did only the Iodine part for the first 2 weeks on its own. This cleared the skin up but I kept the uncomfortable swelling feeling in the penis shaft and testicles.

When eventually getting the Doxycycline it soothed the swelling feeling too.

If others try this remedy please write your experiences here too so we can see if this is a global cure (cure for all) for this very stubborn disorder or not.

Prior to this I also tried Canesten HC, which always worked in the past for this condition which I believe is Thrush and/or Balanitis. Balanitis being the product of Thrush.

Really hope this helps others out there! Please post your results if you decide to try this.
