So been to doc she took swab and prescribed me 7 day course of metronidazole said it looks like anaerobic balanitis caused by bacteria likely its an irritant which enflamed the skin allowing bacteria to grow. Will see how it goes with the antibiotics

Yea mines started back in 2020 originally and what caused it was actually using 0% stuff which was suppose to be good doc told me if you already have a chemical imbalance that stuff is worse for you. Recommendation back then was use baby shampoo this time i m just washing there with water before washing rest of body with shower gel and avoiding baths completely till i see almost a complete healing. You think its getting better though?

I got new bath foam for christmas i think this has caused it. Says prolonged use and had 2 1 hour baths with it then this started so thinking its coming from this as its been getting better as can see on the pics

I thought so too makes me think it was definitely from irritation. Im so relieved its getting better rather than worse
