Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 35-year-old unmarried male. I have a patch on the inner part of the skin that covers the penis. I consulted a doctor. He asked me to take Cefix 200 twice daily, Atazis 1/2 in the morning and 1 in the evening for five days, and MF Sudif ointment. He then asked me to continue these for two more days, but the infection was still present. The doctor said it was a side effect of the Signoflam tablet and asked me to use Ultracet instead as a painkiller next time. I have a medical history of having a moderate heart attack nine months ago while playing cricket following which a stent was placed. Since then, I have been using Met XL 25 twice daily, Clopilet A 75 mg at noon, and Atorvastatin 80 mg at night. I have a BMI of 24.2. I do not have any other complications. Please find an image attached.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
From the image, it appears to be psoriasis (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You will need a physical examination as well as skin biopsy and dermoscopy for a confirmation. Please visit a dermatologist for the same. Please provide me the following information:
You can apply Desowen (Desonide) cream for seven days. It is a mild steroid which will help to reduce inflammation. So, do not over use it.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
The patch is present from the last 20 days. There is no discharge. There was itching in the first two days. After that, it is just like a patch. I do not have any patches anywhere else. It is more or less the same from the last 20 days. I clean it and apply the ointment about six times a day. I do not have a history of unprotected sex. Will the overuse of the ointment make it ineffective?
Please guide.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Do not overuse the MF Sudif (Fusidic acid) cream. Just use it twice a day. It contains a steroid and an over application of steroid has side effects.
Thank you.
