Asked by Male, 30 · 10 days ago

Redness on the head of the penis can be a symptom of balanitis, which may be caused by a fungal or bacterial infection, poor hygiene, or an allergic reaction. It is best to have the area examined by a doctor to determine the exact cause before starting any treatment. Depending on the cause, the doctor may prescribe an antifungal, an antibiotic, or a mild steroid cream.
