I get recurrent penile yeast infection with skin crack on the penis. Please help.

Question

Hello doctor,

I have a penile yeast infection and oral thrush. I am currently using Clotrimazole cream twice daily for the past seven to eight days, but I still see some white colored thin fungus like particles. (These are very few near the glans penis).

This is the second time the fungal infection has appeared. When the first incidence of the infection appeared I took two doses of Fluconazole and the infection seemed to disappear. Additionally, I see cracks on the head of the penis. I have had used soap to clean the penis in the past. The first time when I had white layer of smegma, the FNP had recommended me to use Triamcinolone acentonide and this did not cure the problem but I think it did aggravate it. My penis seems quite unhealthy than before with cracks on it. My concern is apart from treatment for infection, will I be able to get healthy crack free penis head back again and can I completely get rid of the fungus?

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your problem. Yes, sure you will get crack-free penis but you have to rule out other infections assosiated with cracked penis.

Answer 2

Hello Dear dont worry the test reports are normal. So don't worry and TSH level also with in normal range. Continue above medication and please review after 2 days. Take care

Answer 3

Hello dear is there any mucous in stools?? How many times your passing stools?? Is there any pain abdomen?? What you ate yesterday??

Answer 4

Hello dear it may be due to (possible causes I'm mentioned here) 1. Irritable bowel syndrome. 2. Subacute intestinal bacterial overgrowth. 3. Worms like tenia may present like compressed tape like threads in grey colour stool. 4. It may be a mucous due shigella or salmonella infection. 5. Fungal overgrowth may present like blobs of mucous in white colour. It may also form threads. 6. It may be a malobsorption syndrome or food intolerance. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet sporulac two tablets twice a day for five days. Avoid spicy food and alcohol. Use tablet bandy plus one tablet stat dose after food. Get it done stool examination for ova , cysts , microscopy , culture, fat levels, pus cells and sensitivity. Please review with reports or consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly. Take care.
