People with a weakened immune system (the body’s defence system)

Any steroid like Omnacortil must be avoided in viral disease like Chicken pox. Symptomatic treatment for fever, pain, itching and local application may be necessary. No food restrictions. Some mild antibiotic for infection (Pus formation) may be necessary. Antiviral tablets like Ocuvir tablets for 8-10 days ensures faster cure. Consult a Physician for details.

These chickenpox marks go in different stages. Drying of vesicles, scab formation with black coloration, falling off of scabs, leaving behind whitish spots. Normally color returns to normal within 2-3 weeks. Simple lactcolamine liquid may be applied multiple times. If marks are on exposed parts like face etc giving bad look. Ocuvir skin cream can be applied twice a day. Sure to get normal.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
If you forget a dose of aciclovir, take it (or use the cream or eye ointment) as soon as you remember, unless it's nearly time for your next dose. In this case, just skip the missed dose and continue with your next one at the usual time. Never have 2 doses at the same time.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.

Subject: redness, pain, stingy, inflammation, urethral meatus, penis opening, urethra, balanitis, inflamed penis head, friction, sharp pain, peeing, ejaculation. Please note: so I have mentioned all the possible keywords in the subject that will bring everybody suffering from the same problem here. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker and uncircumcised. I take care of my health a lot. I regularly workout. This problem started 4 months back and i'm still suffering from it. So someone out there who cracked the solution, please help as you can see in the pictures, my meatus/urethral opening is red and inflamed. Symptoms: 1) the tip of penis stings when there is a call for urination. 2) it burns like hell after masturbation. But does not burn after a night fall. Which means friction could be causing this. 3) there is a mild burn throughout the day. 4) some drops of urine are left in the head of the penis after urination. 5) and redness and swelling in the size of the meatus is prominent and the tip/opening of the urethra is visibly bright red. History: I have been through the top most urologists in the country but still they couldn't solve this. It started from diagnosis like prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis and urethritis. But I believe they were all false. I have taken tonnes of antibiotics, so much that I have lost 10 kgs of body weight. They made me do urine culture and semen culture, but I believe all the reports were false as they showed a bacteria of enterococcus faecalis. I took linezolid antibiotics that treat this but it did not help. Tests I conducted: 1) urine and semen culture (latest - sterile) 2) psa - prostate antigen (normal) 3) hsv herpes 1 & 2 (negative) 4) usg of abdomen and pelvis (everything normal and no traces of stones.) medication I took till date: 1) I took strong doses via i.v. Of cefoperazone sulbactam 1.5gm twice7 days. 2) then I took flavoxate drug and cranpac-d'mannose which gave me more burn. 3) then amoxicillin/clavulanate 2x10 days 4) doxycycline for 14 days (2 tablets daily) 5) nitrofurantoin (for 15 days!) 6) fluconazole 200 mg for 10 days 7) azithromycin for 10 days. 8) linezolid 600 mg 2x15 days! :(9) cephalosporin for 2x7 days the doctors have abused my body with antibiotics :(10) steroidal creams like clobetasone miconazole. betamethasone dipropionate, aciclovir, clotrimazole and so on! during the course of all the antibiotics, I was informing the doctors that it's still burning after medication too (which means the prescriptions were wrong) but still they forced me to finish the course. I am not at all sexually active. So there's no question of stds. I have taken all the possible antibiotics, so no question of stis. I got penile discharge on day 1, but never after that. No blood discharge. Infact my main problem was whenever I masturbated, I did not use lubrication, I did it on dry penis for so many years. It always burned after ejaculation, when there was no lube. Finally after meeting so many urologists who abused my body with antibiotics, I met a skin doctor and he gave me fluconazole and steroidal creams, but that did not help either. He said it's balanitis and urologists failed to identify it. But then now there is redness and swelling on the tip/opening and not much on the head. Also no burning after a night fall, which means there's no bacteria in semen. But extreme burning after friction/masturbation. And mild burning 24 hours. Urine is also sterile and not smelling funny. Water intake is 3-4 litres a day. Guys, its a humble request, if anyone had faced a similar issue and cleared it out, then please help me my brothers  it's been 4 months of mental & physical torture. I have spent a lot of money and i'm the only person at home to earn. Please help me. I'm not in a good state. :(
