Swollen Itchy Foreskin
I've had a few symptoms on my penis recently that are starting to worry me. I occasionally get very small white spots on my penis head which seem to appear every now and then, but a couple of days ago I got some more symptoms.
Main one is a very swollen foreskin, which is itchy and have a slight burning sensation. I also have these white spots on the top of my penis and also the bottom of my penis head has a very white and red scabby look. Like the skin is breaking.
Any idea what this could be and the best cure? I have had regular unprotected sex with my girlfriend who is on the pill for the last year, but no one else. So hoping its not an STD.

Yeast is fungal, and yes, it makes it even more likely to be a fungal infection.

i forgot to mention, i've recently been on antibiotics for an ear infection? would this make it more likely to be thrush or some sort of yeast infection rather than a fungal infection?

It could be a fungal infection called balanitis, but you should get this checked.
