Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have red spots on my penis. I am not on any medication.

Kindly help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is a vascular disorder with infection.

I suggest the below treatment plan,

  • Apply Fusidic acid cream twice daily for seven days.
  • Tablet Cefixime twice daily after food for five days.
  • Wash the area with Cetearyl Alcohol 0 plus Cetostearyl Alcohol.
  • Cleanser or No-soap cleanser daily for one month.
  • Avoid injury or trauma to the penis.
  • Avoid friction.
  • Avoid occlusion.
  • Avoid known triggers.
  • Avoid excess scratching and rubbing of lesions.
  • Avoid harsh soaps use.
  • Avoid rough handling.
  • Keep a check on sugar levels.
  • Practice safe sex.
  • Avoid sex until the lesion heals.
  • Get urine culture reports done.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Do I need a prescription for the cream and tablet Cefixime?

Kindly suggest.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, you will need a prescription.

  • Maintain proper genital hygiene. Wear loose, comfortable thin cotton inners.
  • Get urine culture reports done.

Follow up with reports. Also, get a complete blood work up that includes ( CBC complete blood count) and blood sugar levels.

For itching, apply Miconazole cream or Clotrimazole cream(candid cream) at night for two weeks. Avoid scratching and rubbing of lesions as they may cause secondary bacterial infection. Consult a specialist doctor, talk to him or her, and start the medicines with their consent.

Keep the area clean and dry.

Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
