Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 30 year old unmarried male, a diabetic as well as BP patient. From the last two weeks, I have a problem in the foreskin of my penis. There are some cut marks in the top part of the foreskin of my penis which makes me feel a sensational burn when I pull the foreskin. I have applied Aspoline to it but there is no improvement. Please help me cure this problem. I have sent you a picture of it. Please provide me suggestions for it.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is an infection due to diabetes. I suggest you to take capsule Itraconazole (antifungal) 100 mg twice daily for a week. Take this capsule immediately after food. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent. Also, take tablet Certirizine for itching. Apply Onabet B (Beclomethasone and Sertaconazole) cream twice daily over the affected area. Keep it dry. Wear loose cotton clothes. You can follow up after two weeks.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the answer.

By the way, I have a habit of masturbating daily. Will it affect the infected area?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Avoid doing so for a few days so that the lesions can heal quickly.

Regards.

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