Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a red bump on my penis. Immediately I visited a doctor and diagnosed it as balanitis. The doctor prescribed Flucanozole cream and antibiotics. The red bumps comparatively became less, but it is almost more than one month and is not fully cured. And recently, the shaft became itchy. I am frequently urinating. I am tensed. Please suggest me something.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I suggest applying Clotrimazole cream twice daily for three weeks. Consult the specialist doctor and use the medication. I also wanted to know. Is it recurrent balanitis? Is there any irritation? Are the genitals itchy?

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
