What common allergies occur on the head and the inner side of the penis?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen your query and concern. If possible, please get a review with a picture for better evaluation.

With your descriptions, it seems you have balanitis.

1. Balanitis is inflammation of the glans penis. Balanitis involving the foreskin and prepuce is termed balanoposthitis.

2. Predisposing factors include poor hygiene and over washing, use of over-the-counter medications, and non-retraction of the foreskin.

3. May be associated with diabetes or candidal fungal infections.

4. Investigations- blood sugar and KOH (Potassium hydroxide) mount for candidiasis.

5. Treatment includes gentle retraction of the foreskin daily and soaking 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, you can take Ketoconazole 200 mg twice daily for two weeks after consulting your general physician.

Thank you.
