My penis has been swollen for two days now, and it itches a lot. The skin is red inside, and the head is swollen too. What could be causing this, and how should I treat it?

This could be a sign of a fungal infection such as balanitis. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
