Hi doctor,
I am a 30 year old male. Since a couple of months, I have noticed some rashes on my penis head. Now, it seems to be spreading. I am washing it diluted Dettol in lukewarm water, and that is not of any help. Please advise.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Is it the first episode or you had a similar complaint in the past?
- Does your partner have a similar complaint? Is it associated with itching?
- Please revert with the images.

Hi doctor,
Thank you for your response. I have attached a few images. This is the first episode, and it happened after unprotected sex. I am not very sure if my partner has the same complaint. I noticed some white discharge with a foul smell from her private part. The rash causes a little discomfort and has been spreading now. To avoid this, I keep the foreskin below the penis head. I hope the above explanation helps.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- It looks like balanitis, foreskin inflammation (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The most common cause is bacterial or fungal infection.
- I suggest the following treatment. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take medicine with consent.
- Apply Miconazole 2% cream (DK gel) or Clotrimazole 1% cream (Canesten cream) twice daily.
- Apply T-Bact cream (Mupirocin) once daily.
- Tablet Fluconazole 150 mg twice a week for two weeks.
- Wash that area with lukewarm water. There is no need to use Dettol as it will cause irritation.
- Ask your partner also to take treatment. If any new lesions appear, then please revert.

Thank you doctor,
Your answer is beneficial. If I Apply Miconazole or Clotrimazole cream (Canesten cream) twice daily, then should I apply T-Bact along with another cream?
