Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had unprotected sex two days ago, and there are three clustered red areas on the bottom of my shaft. They only slightly itchy, and the skin there is dried. I have heavily researched herpes, and I do not think this is it. Anything else it could be?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern, but there are no attached photographs in your message. Kindly send a picture of the affected area to help you better. I need to see the affected area to assess the condition and to suggest the appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Please send the picture of the affected area.

Thank you doctor,
I have attached the file.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
It is not herpes for sure. Can be a mild case of tinea, a superficial fungal infection or just related to friction.
Use the following medications for a week then follow back. Kindly consult your doctor to make the decision and take the treatment with consent.
1. Clotrimazole plus Beclomethasone cream apply twice a day.
2. Tablet Fexofenadine 180 mg once at night.
3. Capsule Itraconazole 100 mg twice a day.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
How do I get prescribed those medications? Or can I pick those up?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I think the first two are available over-the-counter. For third you need a prescription.
