  5. Ive been noticing red dots on the head of my penis after masturbation or sex. It becomes painful to retract the foreskin, especially around the frenulum, and the red dots usually go away after 4-5 days of no activity. I visited a dermatologist, and they prescribed an antifungal cream, but it hasnt helped even after a month. I tested negative for HIV. Could you help me understand what this might be and what treatment I should try?

Since the anti-fungal cream prescribed by the dermatologist did not resolve the issue, it may be worth considering a different approach. I recommend trying a combination of antibiotic and steroid cream to address any possible bacterial or inflammatory component of the condition. You can apply a combination of Mupirocin ointment (2%) and Hydrocortisone cream (1%) twice daily on the affected area for 7-10 days. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, including gently washing the penis with warm water and mild soap, and ensuring proper drying of the area after bathing, can help prevent recurrence
