Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 22-year-old male, having a lot of itchiness inside my penis area along with two white spots. I also experience a lot of pain while urination. I am not able to sleep also because of itchiness. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. It seems you have developed balanitis and urethritis. Balanitis is the inflammation of the glans penis. The predisposing factors include poor hygiene and overwashing, use of over-the-counter medications, and non-retraction of the foreskin. It may be associated with diabetes and candidal fungal infections. I would suggest you get a urine test done for routine and microscopy, blood sugar, and KOH (potassium, oxygen, and hydrogen) mount for candidiasis.

For treatment, I would suggest you do gentle retraction of the foreskin daily and soak it in warm water to clean the penis and foreskin. you can use a combination of Fusidic acid and Clotrimazole twice daily for one month. If balanitis does not respond to topical therapy then you can take Ketoconazole 200 mg twice daily for two weeks. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with their consent.

I hope this helps you.

Regards.

Thank you.
