  5. I'm experiencing cracks on my foreskin after having sex, and sometimes they last for a few days before coming back after intercourse. I've noticed a whitish-grey discharge building up on my foreskin and the head of my penis. It goes away after washing, but then it returns the next day. The skin around the head seems like it might have an infection. I've tried using coconut oil and curd since I read online that it might be a fungal or yeast infection. Also, my wife had a UTI with white discharge recently. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and suggest a possible treatment?

The symptoms suggest a possible yeast infection (candidiasis) or balanitis, often linked to infections like UTI in partners. Avoid home remedies like coconut oil, as they may worsen irritation. Wash gently with warm water, avoid soaps, and consider an antifungal cream after consulting a Dr. Both you and your wife may benefit from a medical check-up to address potential infection and prevent recurrence.
