I'm an uncircumcised, 30 years old bachelor. About 5 years ago, I developed what seemed like a run-of-mill fungal infection (redness, itchiness, some swelling) on my penis foreskin.in 2011 I saw a dermatologist and he told this is balanitis, prescribed some medicine that time the condition change to about normal. Past 3 months ago that diseases came back. I applied clotrimazole cream for a month, twice a day, washing the area without soap, drying it throughly after each shower. But again, while the itchiness, the swelling.

Hello- this recurrent skin infections are due to decreased immunity. It can't be treated with modern medicines. >you have to start ayurvedic treatment for that. 1) maintain proper hygiene of you. 2) apply karanja taila locally in affected areas. 3) use actaril soap (himalaya).
