Penile Infections Questions

Health Query

Report

I am 25 years old. I was suffering from fungal infection on backside of penis and I went to doctor and he checked and confirmed for fungal infection and he prescribed me medicines, a anti fungal soap and a cream name terbol-forte. The very first day I applied the cream on affected areas and it was all burning whole night and next day I asked doctor so he said this cream burns skin a little bit. So I applied it again two times for 3 to 4 days. Yesterday I noticed my penis and scrotum area has become very dry and all areas where I applied the cream has dead skin coming out little and its itching. I searched for side effects of this cream on google and found burning of skin, irritation,rash and itching at skin. I think I have cured fungus but this itching and dryness has made me worried. I have stopped using that cream. Please help. What to do to make skin normal again. Should I stop using soap and cream? Please suggest me some cream or oil to make my skin as I am feeling bad to have sexual relationship with my wife in this condition. Please help. Should I apply coconut oil to moisturize the skin? Or some cream.

Fungal infections on skin are the most common of all and are effectively treated with homeopathy. I advise you to stop allopathic treatment as it gives temporary results only with lots of side effects, it will recur once you stop medicines and homeopathic treatment cures it from roots without side effects. No chance of recurrence. You can consult me online for homoeopathic treatment without side effects.

Stds are detected through swab cultures. Rashes and discharge are generally associated with STD's. But sometimes they can just present as burning micturition.

Treatment depends on the severity. Fungal infection or ring worm. When occurs in groin, called as jock itch. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds. It's mostly circular or round in appearance. May be red or black in colour. Treatment depending on the type and severity. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it.

All the creams that you are using contain steroids and possibly are responsible for your problem
you must see a dermatologist soon and get your problem treated otherwise it can lead to phimosis
I would suggest getting your blood sugars also tested and stop using any cream for 2-3 days before seeing any dermatologist so that they can see the exact severity and extent of your problem.

Dear user. Penile itching could be due to many factors. Men who are uncircumcised (who have the foreskin remaining around the penis) are prone to balanitis, an inflammation of the foreskin that is often caused by poor hygiene, irritation, or infections. Penile itch is not an emergency, but it may be a sign of a disease that can be transmitted to others. Please consult a doctor for physical investigation which is essential for diagnosis. Take care.
