I've been having some issues after having unprotected sex about 3 months ago. My penis is looking a bit shiny and there's this itching, plus sometimes it burns a bit when I touch the foreskin. Im getting pretty worried. I want to get tested for all STDs and STIs in Kolkata. Can you point me in the right direction for this?

I've been dealing with a balanitis infection that started a few days ago, and I'm really concerned. I came across Fourderm cream and started using it, but I'm not sure if it's effective for this condition. Can you tell me if this cream is actually helpful for treating balanitis, or if there's something else I should be doing?
