Yeast or bacterial infection

Let me describe me my present penis condition! am under going yeast infection medicines for 1 month consulting a Dermatologist! When i pull out the fore skin of my penis i find some blackish or reddish colour changes!! and also at the end of the penis shaft there is violet colour changes and it disappears when i put medicines and apply anti fungal cream! only during the night time it seems to be colour changing!! Is it only yeast infection or any other bacterial infected??Please help me!! I dont have any pain but i get occasional burning sensation in morning hours still i have that problem during morning time when i apply that anti fungal cream! no burning sensation while urinating! suddenly three days before i got some itchy reddish skin rash on chest and thighs! it disappeared with my yeast infection medicines!!
Well i forgot to mention that i dont have the habit of cleaning my inner skin of penis with soap! :-( Hence the infection is due to that?? Or i undergone unprotected oral sex and protected sex with a sex worker 2 months ago

Hello,
These symptoms can be due to balanitis. Oral course of antibiotics is needed .In addition, don’t use any cosmetics on the penis,instead use some topical antimicrobials like Bacitracin or Lotrimin. Also corticosteroids and topical immunosuppressants can be used but they are available under prescription. Also retract the foreskin daily and soak in warm water to clean penis and foreskin.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
