Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your case. Keep your skin well moisturized by frequent application of liquid Paraffin. Mix Hydrocortisone and Clotrimazole cream in equal amount and apply two times a day for 14 days. Maintain good hygiene. Avoid friction.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

In my opinion, it is one presentation of balanitis. Most of the time patient seeks advice for treatment only and not for diagnosis. That is why I explained the management. If you are concerned about sexually transmitted infection, then relax, this clinical presentation could not be any of the STDs.

Hope it helps.

Thank you.
