I'm dealing with some itching under the skin of my penis head, and when I wash it, I sometimes notice white smegma. Occasionally, there's even a reddish ring under the skin. I've been struggling with this for about a year and a half now. I've visited a couple of doctors and followed their prescriptions for antibiotics and creams, but it always comes back about two weeks after I finish the medication. Do you think circumcision might be a good solution to get rid of this issue once and for all? I'm really unsure about what to do next.

My penis has always curved to the left and I recently got a penile Doppler test that showed small plaques. The doctor said surgery is the only option but only if sex is uncomfortable. I want to straighten it but I'm worried about surgery risks. Are there any other treatments like penile traction devices that could work?

dermatologist opinion for the treatment .

I keep having frequent urine problems and my doctor prescribed me Perridium, Urispas, and Alkasol syrup. This is the third time I've faced this issue. The doc said my urine pipe is a little narrow and suggested surgery, but I don't want to go through that. Right now, I'm taking Cantheria 30 is this okay or should I try something else?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
