I have balanitis for more than a week now. Have tried oral medication (fluconazole 150 mg) and topical anti fungal creams. The infection got better for some days (less swelling and almost no pain or itching) but after one week of taking the oral tablet it started getting worse again. The foreskin is peeling off and the itching and burning has started again. It's been around 10 days since the first symptoms appeared and a week since I started taking medications. Should I carry on with the medicines or try something else? Pleas help!
