I'm experiencing a recurring ringworm-like infection on the tip of my penis that tends to appear after having sex with my wife, even though we're using a condom. Could this be an allergic reaction to the condom? I usually use Candid B ointment, and it seems to help for a bit, but then the issue comes back. What could be causing this, and how can I prevent it from happening again?
