There are multiple causes for redness n itching on glans penis. Without photographs n a proper history it's not possible to tell what exactly the problem is. Candid b is a combination of steroid n antifungal, so ideally shouldn't be used even if you r suspecting a fungal infection, as steroid will worsen the infection. Consultant a dermatologist (online or clinic) n get a proper evaluation done.

Hi lybrate-user,
it would be better if you use any plain talcum powder than a medicated one. Most patients with friction problem won't have any fungal issues so a medicated powder is not advised as if you later, god forbid, need any antifungal treatment, then they won't work.
Best wishes.

Hello Lybrate user, most of the time a white patch on your skin could be just dryness related, sun damage or a fungal infection. Make sure to moisturise well, sun protection with a cap or helmet and if a fungal infection was suspected I would go in for a plain clotrimazole cream rather than the combination. Hope I answered your question. T.c.
