Probably fighting balanitis, but still not sure, posting pictures from different days.
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hello guys, I am having this issue since couple weeks, I am not sure if I am fighting very successfully, but I am using Canesten since 7 days. I saw those small bumps on the glance of my head, and then penis head was very sensitive. I think the corona of my glance was swell little and it was very soar. I am not having any pain right now, it is not as sensitive as it was before several days, but still have this weird look and feeling. I had little burning feeling when I needed to take a leak. What concerns me is a small red spot that I think wasn't there in the begging, but now it is.I do suspect that is candida balanitis due to my poor hygiene, before I get this condition, but cannot be sure. I will upload several different pictures. I will go for STI test the following days, and will keep your heads up. The pictures are with these dates, I will start from right to left,(started using Canesten on 13th of February. The first three are from 2/9, 4th is from 2/11, 5th from 2/16, 6th and 7th from 2/1, 8th from 2/18, 9th from 2/19, 10th and 11th from 2/20(today). thank you in advance!

Those pics definitely look like balanitis, though if the white patches on pics 6 and 7 can't just be wiped off, they would be concerning. It does seem to be responding to Canesten, so I personally wouldn't see a doctor in your position. I wouldn't worry too much about the red spot you mention unless if gets worse or doesn't go away in a week or two.
This is my standard cut and paste for balanitis:
These links may help, though the second article is written for doctors:
https://patient.info/health/balanitis-leaflet
https://patient.info/doctor/balanitis-pro ;
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.
(Canesten is also known as Clotrimazole, and Daktarin is also known as Miconazole or these brand names: Desenex and Zeasorb in US and Canada, Micatin, Monistat-Derm, Daktarin in India, UK, Australia, Belgium and the Philippines, Daktar in Norway, Fungidal in Bangladesh, Decocort in Malaysia.)

Thank you very much!!! Those white patches are actually Canesten cream, now I see that when I wrote my post, I described the pictures from right to left, instead of left to right.
I will upload a better picture with the red spot I mentioned. Those pictures are from today. Any other thoughts on it, just in case you didn't saw it well on the other pictures.

Is there a reason for you to believe it's an sti? Any penetration or non penetrative intercourse?
PErhaps excessive jerking off? Mind filling me in

I had a condition similar to you. It started with a sore tip of the penis when I was
showering. I had a solid rash between my legs. This lasted over a month.
After many visits to the doctor I was given a referral to dermatologist.
The immediate answer was psoriasis. I didn’t think it was skin condition initially.
Because it was a solid rash. Psoriasis is has circular spots with dry skin inside.
Those spots developed much later than the original symptoms.
The cream they prescribed works miracles on the penis. But not so much so on the
rest of my body. Good Luck.
