    Not enough info! Try uploading a photo - you'll have to do using a computer.

    Probably balanitis, but it's hard to say without a pic.  If it is balanitis, these links may help:

    Washing (with water, no soap) daily, and taking a leak and washing after masturbation or sex will probably help, and you could also try Canesten cream or Daktarin cream.  Loose fitting cotton underwear may help, and some sites recommend washing underwear with non-biological washing powder or liquid.

    You need to be on a PC or laptop to add pictures.  If you are, then you should see some extra icons towards the top right of where you type, and the right hand icon (which I think is supposed to look like the sun over mountains) will add images.

    The pic I've attached here shows the icons.

    Sorry for bad info. Here's a pic. Doctor gave me Gentamicin. It doesnt help.

      Did the doctor say what they thought you have?  Gentamicin is for bacterial infections btw, whereas balanitis is usually fungal.

    You can buy Daktarin or Canesten over the counter in UK - they treat fungal infection.
