I recently had a yeast infection on my penis and used Lobate GM cream along with a dose of fluconazole 150. While the fungus seems to be gone, now I've developed these red wounds on the head of my penis with this white liquid discharge. It's painful to touch and there's a burning sensation. What should I do about these new symptoms?

You may be experiencing a secondary infection or irritation after treating the yeast infection. The red wounds with white discharge and burning sensation could indicate a bacterial infection. I recommend using an antibiotic cream like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to promote healing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
