[21M] With faint redness on the head of penis

What might be happening

Based on the information you have provided, possible explanations for the faint redness and very faint white discharge on the head of your penis include:

• Mild Irritation or Contact Dermatitis: This could be due to the use of the polythene-made sex toy. The material or any lubricants used might have caused mild irritation.

  • Treatment: Avoid using the sex toy and any potential irritants. Wash the area gently with warm water and avoid harsh soaps.

• Balanitis: This is an inflammation of the head of the penis, which can be caused by poor hygiene, infections, or irritants.

  • Treatment: Maintain good hygiene, gently clean the area with warm water, and avoid irritants. If symptoms persist, a doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments.

• Yeast Infection: Although more common in women, men can also get yeast infections, which can cause redness and discharge.

  • Treatment: Over-the-counter antifungal creams can be used, but it's best to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

What you can do

1. Maintain Good Hygiene: Gently clean the affected area with warm water and avoid using harsh soaps or irritants.
2. Avoid Irritants: Refrain from using the polythene-made sex toy or any other potential irritants until the symptoms resolve.
3. Monitor Symptoms: Keep an eye on the redness and discharge. If symptoms worsen or do not improve within a week, seek medical advice.

What you should look out for

• Persistent or Worsening Symptoms: If the redness or discharge persists or worsens, it is important to see a doctor.
• Pain or Discomfort: If you start experiencing pain, burning sensation, or any other discomfort, seek medical attention.
• New Symptoms: If you notice any new symptoms such as sores, increased discharge, or swelling, consult a healthcare professional.

Remember, while these suggestions can help manage your symptoms, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for a formal diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
