Q. Suffering from balanitis. Using an anti-fungal cream candid-B. The symptoms start again after I stop using the cream.
Hi,
I am suffering from balanitis since last month. I am using an antifungal cream (candid B) to avoid it. Till the time I use antifungal cream all rashes/infection disapper, but once I stop applying the cream all symptoms start again.
Sympoms are: Red skin around head of penis and itchiness after 1-2 days of red skin.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Have you ever been diagnosed by a doctor because balanitis has several other causes as well and fungal infection is one of them.
Get a fasting and post prandial blood sugar done and please send me a few details:
- Have you noticed any swellings in your groin area ?
- Do you get small fluid filled lesions?
- Do you have any tiny ulcers on ur penis tip?
- Is there any milky discharge from your penis?
- Has there ever been any trauma to your groin region?
These answers will help me come to a diagnosis and treat you properly.
Dear Doctor,
No, I have not been diagnosed by a doctor for balanitis, also required details are mentioned below:
- No swelling observed in the groin area.
- No. There are no small fluid filled lesions as of now but initially there are few (1-2).
- Yes. Tiny ulcers are on penis tip, currently very few but increased if I stop applying candid cream.
- No milky discharge from penis.
- Yes. I had pain/strain initially but that has been sorted post using Candid cream.
Hope that will help in providing resolution.
Hi,
Thanks for providing the necessary details.
- You may start taking tablet Fusys DT 100mg once a day for ten days.
- Apply candid B cream twice a day for ten days.
- Get a fasting and post prandial blood sugar level done.
- Candidal balanoposthitis is very common in diabetics.
- So it is better to rule it out. Any other problem do let me know.
