Let's look at the article below about the causes and ways to treat penis infections due to fungi.
Symptoms and causes of penile infections
Fungal infections (candida) begins with the appearance of a reddish rash on the penis. The next symptom is arousing, itching, and even a red spot on the tip of the penis, which is then followed by white spots around the penis. Even the skin of the penis can peel off and when you urinate it will feel sore and burning.
Basically, candida thrives on moist, sweaty skin, and is rarely cleaned. Men who have not been circumcised are more likely to have a fungal infection. In some cases, the skin in the penis sheath even swells and has open wounds due to fungal infections. In addition, fungi that cause infection easily develop in men who have diabetes. Mushroom breeding potential can also be caused by allergic reactions to perfume, dirty water, even bath gel that you normally use everyday.
How to prevent and treat penis infections
Mushrooms breed in damp places, such as skin folds in areas that are rarely exposed to sunlight and air. So the groin area must be kept clean and dry to prevent fungal infections. Fungal groin infections can be transmitted from person to person, and can cause irritation, pain or itching.

- Bathe and clean the itchy or sore area with warm water at least twice a day. Carefully rub and clean the foreskin area, as well as the shaft of your penis.
- Avoid using scented soap, shower gel or deodorant in all areas affected by irritation, as this can cause further irritation.
- Wash hands before and after urinating to prevent the spread of infection. It is not recommended to share laps or towels with other people.
- Keep the penis area dry and free of sweat and damp damp to prevent widespread fungal infections.
- Change clothes a day, at least 2 times a day so that germs from sweat do not eat away at your penis.
- Give ice compress to relieve itching and heat in irritation. Compress does not have to be placed directly on the skin of the itchy area, compress the outside area of irritation. Use a clean cloth that has been washed using alcohol or medical plastic, fill it with cold water or ice. Compress the part that feels uncomfortable, do it regularly.Avoid first sexual activity with a partner, this will only make you and your partner spread each other fungal bacteria.
- Avoid using products that cause irritation. If the irritation is caused by the use of a latex condom, try using a condom that is made from anti-allergies for sensitive skin.
