Photos and treatment of fungus on the skin of the penis
Fungal infections are quite often affect the male body and also often the fungus may be localized on the penis, photos of such lesions are dramatic enough. To be infected with fungal disease not only through sexual contact but also through contact with household items, it can be someone else's towel or someone else's washcloth.
Tends to fungus on the penis in the moment when the athlete begins to proliferate actively, and primarily behave in a yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida.
However, the active reproduction of fungi is not happening by itself. This requires some defining factors, the main of which is a drop in immunity. In General, the penis can accommodate various fungal diseases, and they provoke different problems with different symptoms.

You can also note that to engage in self-treatment of fungus on the penis, in any case is not recommended, as it can only complicate the process of therapy and lead to the fact that the fungal infection goes into a chronic form of the disease.
The reasons for the development of the fungus
As we have said, one of the main factors that lead to the activation of the fungus, is the falling of human immunity. Once the body's defenses begin to weaken, mycosis enters a phase of active reproduction. But the reason of falling of immunity may be different. For example:
- illness earlier,
- any chronic disease
- taking certain antibiotics,
- stress and depression, nervous condition,
- heavy physical labor.
Another fundamental moment for the development of fungal diseases on the surface of the penis is ignoring the rules of personal hygiene, here and photos do not need to determine the degree of neglect of personal hygiene.

The main diagnostic method in this situation is a smear from the urinary canal, and a scraping from the skin of the penis. Some types of fungal infections can be resistant to certain types of antibiotics, and successful treatment requires not only accurate diagnosis, but also the exact choice of drugs.
Here again, it is worth saying that, as specific drugs and specific dosages, and the duration of the course is calculated by the physician based on an accurate diagnosis and individual characteristics of the patient.
