Hello Doctor,
I've had an infection on the tip of my penis for a week now. Initially, there was a boil that peeled off the skin, and now there is a continuous discharge of a watery substance regardless of what I apply, such as Cipladin ointment and Candid powder. It doesn't seem to be getting better. What should I do?
