I've noticed some skin rashes on my penis and a small area on the head that looks irritated. Im worried it might be balanitis. How should I treat this? Is there something specific I need to do or avoid?

Balanitis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the glans penis; to treat balanitis, practice good hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, avoid irritants like harsh soaps or bubble baths, and apply topical creams or ointments like hydrocortisone, clotrimazole, or miconazole; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor or urologist for proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antibiotics or antifungal medications.

I've just had a semen analysis done, and I'm really worried because the morphology came back at 1. My count is 30 million, and motility is 4. What can I do to improve these numbers? Should I be taking any specific medicine, and is the lineator tablet enough for this situation?

Im a 25-year-old male, weighing 40 kg, and Ive been dealing with something that's been really bothering me. Every night, I find myself experiencing nightfall, with sperm leakage while I sleep. I also have a problem with urinary incontinence. After I use the bathroom, even when I think I've finished urinating, a few drops just come out without me noticing until it's too late. Im having a hard time controlling myself when I feel the sudden urge to urinate. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

I've noticed this strange dark discoloration on the head of my penis, and it seems to get more noticeable after I take a shower. Oddly though, whenever I masturbate, it doesn't really appear there anymore. It doesnt hurt or cause any irritation at all. Could this be related to an STD?

Candid cream for local application,for 2 weeks is advised.
