Hello doctor,
I am a diabetic for the last five years. Presently I am having rashes and cut on my penis covering skin. Sometimes there is itching. Please advice me with appropriate medicines.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It can be balanitis from your description. Apply Miconazole 2 % cream or Clotrimazole 1 % cream twice daily. Please send image and revert so that oral medications can be decided.

Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
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.
