Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I have uploaded the image. Presently applying Candid B ointment. I am diabetic using Glyree MV two times and Jardiance one time. Please prescribe medicine which is readily available in especially in my place.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

Yes, it is balanitis, which can be due to bacterial or fungal infection (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

1. Apply Miconazole 2 % cream or Clotrimazole 1 % cream twice a daily (DK gel or Canesten cream)

2. Apply T-Bact cream once daily.

If your partner has a similar complaint, she should be treated as well.

3. Take tablet Fluconazole 150 mg one tablet thrice a week (on alternative days) for two weeks after the meals.

Wash area with lukewarm water. In a diabetic patient, it takes a little more extended period to resolve.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
