It's been a week or two, after having intercourse with my partner, suddenly i observed white spots on penis head and slight redness, i have been using lulifin 1% cream and it was ok but suddenly I saw small particles cheese like substance on penis and cracks on foreskin and when pulling back its painful.
Please suggest the cream or can I take a zocon tablet for this. Thank you

• Findings are suggestive of candidal balanitis (fungal infection) with inflammation of glans and foreskin
• “Cheese-like” deposits, redness, fissuring and pain on retraction are typical of yeast overgrowth, often after intercourse
• Partial response to antifungal cream supports fungal etiology, but current symptoms indicate ongoing irritation/incomplete resolution
Next Steps
• Clinical confirmation by a dermatologist is advisable to rule out mixed infection or associated conditions (like diabetes)
• Both partners may need evaluation if recurrent symptoms are present
• Oral medication should be taken only under medical guidance, not self-initiated
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution
• Maintain gentle hygiene—wash with plain water, avoid soaps/chemicals on the area
• Keep the area dry and clean, avoid tight clothing
• Avoid sexual activity till complete healing to prevent recurrence and partner transmission
Kindly consult with me via practo for detailed evaluation and treatment

Hey there...
Short answer : this appears to be a candidal balanoposthitis.. get yourself and your partner both treated ASAP.
The treatment is simple but will require a prescription from a qualified Dermatologist.

Detailed history and clear images are required for correct diagnosis and treatment. It looks like candidial Balanopisthitis. Few possibilities must be ruled to know the probable cause of you being affected. Both the partners must be treated to prevent recurrent infections.
Next Steps
kindly book online consultation for proper management and guidance
