Hi doctor, I am having red rashes on the glands of the penis. I used Candid Total and it disappeared completely. Again after seven days it again appeared and it seems red patches on right and left side of the penis. I continued using it and then got an advise form one of my friend for using Surfaz SN along with Doxt SL 100 which I am using it since last 15 days. It was improving slowly. I was using very hot water for cleaning the penis but suddenly day before yesterday, the color of the penis became red and the patches have also become red. I am having pain on the glands of the penis and seeing some white discharge. I do not know why it has happened suddenly, due to usage of hot water or for some other causes. I consulted local doctor and he advised to take LNZ 600 one tablet twice daily for five days and T-Bact ointment twice daily for 10 days. Please advise.
Hi. You have erosions on the glans penis that is more consistent with candidal balanitis, other possibilities are chancroid, herpes. Please stop using Surfaz SN, it has steroid in it. Steroid helps to bring down the inflammation, itching will get better but it will not cure the fungal infection further makes the fungal infection worse. I believe that is what happened for you now. Can you please answer these questions so that I can rule out other possible conditions and suggest you appropriate medications. When did it start? Do you have similar red rash on foreskin as well? Any history of unprotected sexual intercourse? Any history of white discharge in the female partner? Did you have fluid filled blisters when it started? Is this the first time you are experiencing this kind of lesion? Do you have any allergies to medications? Do you have any other medical conditions? Diabetes? Do not use hot water for genitals. Always use lukewarm water.
