Hi there! We aren't able to prescribe any medication for Charlie without an exam, and can't really suggest any over-the-counter treatment without a better idea of exactly what's going on - "penis inflammation" is not a common problem in dogs, so I can't really say what might be causing this or what kind of treatment may be needed without being able to see him. Because of this, I would recommend taking Charlie to a veterinarian in your area for an exam. He/she can determine what is causing the inflammation and get him started on appropriate treatment depending on what is found.
