#icliniq100hrs success story

A 32-year-old male with red and white spots on the glans penis, which were a little itchy sometimes, contacted a dermatologist on iCliniq.com for help. He was suffering from phimosis (tight foreskin) until a few months back, which got cured through homeopathy medicine and cream. As his glans penis was too dry, he applied lubrication like petroleum jelly or Coconut oil daily. Because of the dryness, he was unable to pull his foreskin back easily, and the friction with underpants resulted in redness and inflammation. A local doctor gave him topical steroid creams, which he applied for a month. But still, the patient only noticed a 20 to 30 % improvement. He attached pictures of the lesions and urine, swab test, and other reports for our doctor to examine.

iCliniq's dermatologist diagnosed the condition as candidal balanoposthitis, which is a yeast infection. She suggested antifungal ointments and tablets for a week, along with some home remedies. The doctor advised against using the steroid cream, as it should not be used for a long time on the sensitive genital skin. As the patient's urine culture showed the presence of bacteria, she suggested antibiotics for five days. The doctor asked the patient to review with images after 10 days.

The patient followed up with the doctor after a week with new images and thanked the doctor for the medicines. The patient mentioned that almost 70 to 80 % of the lesions were gone. His glans were still very dry and peeled off if he did not apply any lubricant, and he could still see very fine red spots. He wanted to know why his glans was so dry and flaky.

The doctor agreed that there was an 80 % improvement in the lesions. She asked the patient to stop all the other creams and start with a different antifungal ointment on the dry and flaky patches. The doctor informed him that skin peeling is due to dryness and suggested applying a moisturizer. She also made the patient understand that hygiene plays a vital role in treating such infections. She advised him to maintain proper genital hygiene, wear loose and thin cotton inners, avoid tight clothes, and not scratch or rub the lesion. The doctor asked the patient to continue treatment for a month and follow-up with images.

The patient messaged after a couple of weeks, saying there was a lot of improvement, but still, it was not 100 % better. He was happy that his glans looked clean, and there was no dirt or smegma. He thanked the doctor for her help and told her that he would follow-up in a few weeks with results.
