What is this redness on my penis head??

---

i have this redness on my penis head it looks like irritation and is like swollen glands or what ever they say. its like swollen on the head part but not all of it and it comes around the side of my penis head.i went to the docotors like three times and i have also been here asking aroundi thought it was a yeast infection but thats not it because the doctor said it wasnt the last time i went he gave me avenno cream and baby shampoo to wash with because he says its dry irritatied dry skin and that works and then it stops and then it gets worse again then i stop puting the cream on and it looks like its goin away again and then it comes back and it keeps doing that do you know anything else that might be able to make it go away???

Are you cut or uncut?What do you use as a lubricant when you jack off? It could be a reaction from something like that.. You're not using shampoo or soap if and when you jack off..like in the shower?

i am circumsizedand i dont use anything to jerk off i am not using the shampoo in the shower to jack off either i dont know what could be causing it

How often do you jack off? I'm circumsized, and when I jack off without a lubricant I end up holding onto my penis skin and movign it fast against the shaft under the skin. And sometimes my penis gets really red and sore when I do it that way. (So for me, I almost always use a lube of some kind, even spit.)We have a tube of hyrocortisone ointment at home (you can just buy it, you don't need a perscription) and it's great for itching and "minor irritations". You might try that for a few days.

i dont jerk off a lot maybe like once or twice a week because i dont like to do it because it makes it worse

i have had this for almost a year now

It may be most effective to handle this by the trial and error approach. Although the doctor didn't believe it was a yeast infection, without a culture no-one can be completely sure. I would try an antifungal cream for a week to see if it helps. If it doesn't, then I would try an antibacterial cream. If that doesn't work I would try a cream for allergies.

well i already tried an antifungal cream
and what kind of cream is an antibacterial?

It's one that kills bacteria, for treating bacterial skin infections.

yea i meant like
will it say it on it
and like what brands are there that sell it because i never saw it before

or do you mean like purell like the clear stuff you put on your hands?

Yeah, dont put purell on your penis, that will hurt.
Some antibiotic brand names include: Neosporin, A+D, BandAid Plus, and others. Make sure you read the labels and ingredients carefully.
You should also make sure your washing properly.
Another cause could be any detergent or something you use to was your clothes. As your penis head is sensitive to just about everything, you should take care to make sure what it comes in contact with.

Could this be Balanitis?

well iv been using the avenno this week and it seems to be working but slowly should i keep using it? should it be taking like 2-3 weeks to get better?and it seems that the only time it looks like it is getting better in when the cream is on it

is there something that just takes away the swelling in the glands because that is the main thing

If it's still swollen then I wonder if you should try another doctor? Something seems wrong - perhaps a deeper bacterial infection that will need antibiotics, or perhaps an allergy.

but if it is a bacterial infection why is the avenno helping?

I don't know.
