Hi Dr. Nishant
Balanitis and balanoposthitis is very common among Diabetics
He has to use topical antifungal (clotrimazole) plus topical antibiotics (fucidic acid) cream local application twice daily and should take tab fluconazole 150 MG once a week for six weeks
Thank you DR. Zuhair Sagar sir and Dr. Ramesh Kumar S sir, I started him on antibiotic cream and oral antibiotics and his infection has reduced by 90 percent in these 3 days.
