Why is the head of my penis so dry? I'm having trouble pulling the back skin upwards after rolling it down, though that part is easy. Plus, the ring of my penis is turning more red and patchy. What's going on with that?

Use an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice a day on the affected area for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants such as harsh soaps or perfumed products, can help with healing. If symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Question

I'm really worried because my penis is only about 3.5 inches when it's erect and it doesn't stay fully erect for long. Is there anything I can do to increase its size or improve my erections?

I'm really worried about something that's been happening and I hope you can help me out. I had protected sex a while back and noticed the condom had slipped a bit. A few days later, I found small bumps on my penis and went to a dermatologist who said it's molluscum contagiosum. They suggested I get a blood test after six weeks to check for things like HIV. I did the tests and thankfully they all came back non-reactive. I've been using the imiquad solution and the bumps seem to be shrinking, which is a relief, but now I'm dealing with penile discharge whenever I pass stool. Do you know what might be causing this or what I should do?
