I have an inflammation in the skin of my penis with a fishy smell. What should I do?

Hello!

Can you tell me more? Does it have any redness and/or itching? Have you had unprotected sex lately? Have you changed your body soap lately?

Thank you!

Hello, I have a few more questions to orient me further.

How long have you had the symptoms? Has your spouse been treated for vaginitis lately? Have you taken any antibiotics lately? Are you circumcised?

Thanks for answering these many questions!

Thanks for your responses!

I would recommend a 2 cream treatment that you can get at the pharmacy without a prescription! 😀

One of the creams is clotrimazole (antifungal) and the other cream is hydrocortisone 0.5% (anti-inflammatory). You can apply the 2 creams one after the other (no preference of order) locally in a thin layer 2 times a day for 7 days. I also recommend good hygiene with a mild body soap that does not have a strong odor (this can increase irritation and redness) if it is not already the case.

If symptoms persist despite treatment, I recommend going for a consultation.

Happy day!
