Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Two weeks ago I consulted for candida balantis, and took Fluconazole, Levocetirizine and Candid cream, for a week. It was fine but as the dose got over, my itchiness in penis came back and now I have got cut and rashes and redness in my foreskin and penis. I have uncircumcised penis.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern for your symptoms. It looks like balanitis (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It can be due to injury, dry sex, forceful masturbation. Infection- unprotected sex, unhygienic sex practice. Diabetes- can be checked by blood sugar. Using local cream Lobate GM for local application can help you.

If you had unprotected sex, need to do TPHA , HSV 1+2, IgG, HSV 1+2, IgM, Chlamydia trachomatis IgG, HIV 1 and 2, HbsAg, urine complete analysis.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
