Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had sex with my girlfriend. After that, my girlfriend also had an itching problem as same as me. My penis tip is itching and there are red marks on my penis head.

Kindly help.

Hello, I appreciate you signing up on icliniq.

Yes, both may be suffering from STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). I suggest you to follow a few instructions mentioned below.

  1. Maintain hygiene, wash with lukewarm water and betadine solution thoroughly at least three times a day.
  2. Apply Fucidin (Fusidic acid) ointment and Cotrimoxazole 1:1 ratio two times a day. Till recovery no sex for both.
  3. Take 1 tablet OZ (Ofloxacin and Ornidazole) after lunch and dinner for five days.
  4. Take a tablet of Fluconazole 150 mg once per day for six days.
  5. Take the tablet Doxycycline 1 mg for 7 days.

This is a recurrent disease. You both have to take this course for three months. As advised. Add citrus fruits like lemon, orange, kiwi, gooseberry, etc to your diet..

I hope this has helped you. Thank you
