I'm experiencing some itching in the inner tip area of my penis, and it's been going on for a couple of weeks now. I've also noticed some redness on the skin at the back. What could this be, and should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with the healing process. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
