Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

The day before yesterday my hands were not clean and I did masturbation. Yesterday I saw the eruptions, which I have attached in the photo. I am not sexually active. I do only masturbation. I am not a hygienic person and I used to bath only once in a week. I do not have any problem in walking, but when I touch the eruption I feel some pain.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

You are suffering from candidal balanitis.

I would like to suggest you the following medications and get a review in 10 days.

  • Tablet AF 150 (Apo-Fluconazole) once daily for 10 days.
  • Candid lotion (Clotrimazole), apply it twice daily after cleaning the lesion with gauge and water.
  • Maintain proper hygiene. Wash your glans daily, otherwise it is a very recurrent condition. One more thing poor hygiene has strong association with penile cancer. If it occurred then you have to get it surgically removed so prevention is always better than cure.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
