The skin around his penis red and swollen what could this be?

Timur: from time to Time I have inflamed skin around the head of the penis and a very big itch. The redness and how swollen! What could it be?

The answer of the doctor-doctor: Hello, Timur! The reasons for such a pathology can be a lot, but most of the symptoms of the action of the fungus Candida. Most likely, you occasionally acute balanoposthitis, often fungal nature. It is possible that candidiasis is also your partner. You need to take total smear+PCR+secret of the prostate, with scraping head, and to go on reception to the dermatologist (urologist). Your partner also to be examined by a gynecologist and if necessary to be treated together. I wish you health.
