Smelly penis. Please help.
I'm at my wits end. I can't shift this fishy smell my penis has when I pull the foreskin back.
I never used to have it, it all started when an ex-girlfriend got a yeast infection.
Since then it won't go away. I've gone through tubes of Canesten cream, even the one with the tablet. It's just a smell, nothing else, no itching, burning, redness, discharge. It is a little moist sometimes.
Literally, within an hour of getting out of the shower, the smell is back. I've even tried non-scented soap like E45 shower cream. Nothing works.
I can't even see a doctor as they ain't seeing anybody because of Covid. All the sexual health clinics are shut for walk-ins. I spoke to a doctor on the phone, she sounded as confused as me. She sent me an STI check kit, all came back negative.
It's really affecting my self-confidence. I've even turned down potential partners because of this.
I just want it to go away. Please help.
