Patient's Query
Hi,
There is some furuncle or insect bite in the middle part of my penis. I used Quadriderm, but it is not getting better. It is painful, not itchy, and a little reddish in the swollen part.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Any redness with pain should be a sign of inflammation. The reason for that has to be worked out. If you do not have any drug allergies, then a course of antibiotics like capsule Augmentin 625 mg two times a day for five days will do. In addition, you can have paracetamol for pain. Consult your doctor and take the medicines accordingly. Kindly let me know about the following:
1. Your age.
2. Any associated problems like diabetes etc.
3. Sexual history.
4. Any other skin problems.
I hope this information will help you. Please revert with the details in case of further queries.
Thank you.
