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,

Please revert with the images.
Patient's Query
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.
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.
Patient's Query
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?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Yes, you should apply T-Bact cream along with another cream once a day.
