I'm 31 years old and I've noticed a fatty tissue under my right armpit. It's not a lipoma, so I'm not sure what it is or what I should do about it. Can you help me figure out what steps to take next?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with balanitis, specifically candida balanitis, for a while now. About a month ago, my doctor said that's what it is, but I've noticed that whenever my penis gets hard, it turns red, and that's been happening for over six months. I've used surfaz cream and some antibiotics my urologist suggested, which seemed to clear up the infection. But then after seeing a dermatologist for the infection scars, he gave me desonide cream. When I masturbated two weeks later, the red spots came back. I went back to the dermatologist, and now I'm using onabet sd lotion, a fluconazole tablet, and a tablet called dazit. I just want to know how to completely get rid of this condition. I'm also concerned if the redness when my penis is hard is due to the infection. My sugar level is 119, so I don't have diabetes, and I'm 25. What should I do?

Even though superficially Candida looks washed off, systemically it's present that's the cause of recurrence,You to use the prescribed medicine and follow your doctor advice, maintain personal hygiene,no need to worry it's curable,have patience.
