Please suggest medicines for redness and pain on the glans.

Question

Hello doctor,

I have redness and pain on the glans with whitish skin layer peeling off after a bath. I have been using Candid ointment for about 10 days without much relief. Should I change over to Candid B instead?

Answer 1

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If you do not regularly wash under the foreskin, a cheesy material, called smegma, accumulates. This can become infected and cause irritation. The solution is to wash carefully with warm salty water.

If this occurred following sexual intercourse, then this is probably caused by allergy to thrush in your partner’s vagina. If she is treated, the problem will usually go.

Also, this can be due to candida infection, but since it is not responding to treatement, then this could be an early sign of diabetes.

Answer 2

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I would suggest you try taking oral Itraconazole daily for two weeks, after consulting your physician.
