This doctor is not available for online consultations on the platform anymore.Hello doctor,
I have been diagnosed with balanitis (slight redness of the penis & smelly discharge) and I am currently using Candid B cream for the past 10 days and have had one dose of Fluconazole 150 mg tablet. Once I stop applying the cream, the symptoms manifest again. Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
Balanitis is inflammation of the glans penis. Balanitis involving the foreskin and prepuce is termed balanoposthitis. Predisposing factors include poor hygiene or overwashing, use of over-the-counter medications, and nonretraction of the foreskin. It can also be associated with diabetes or candidal infections.
I advise you to follow the below-mentioned instructions.
Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take the medication with their consent.
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
