Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
You seem to have developed a fungal infection of the penile region which is candida infection.
You need to to keep affected area clean and dry. You can wash it with lukewarm water twice a day . Apply a topical antifungal cream like canestan cream over the affected areas twice a day .
In addition you might need to take some oral antifungals like tablet fluconazole 150 mg once a week for two weeks .
Do not apply any other cream or oil over it .
Hope it helps

Hello Doctor,
Thanks. Recently I consulted with a doctor and he prescribed me Azithral 500 + Candid B. Please suggest.
Brief Answer:
Treatment of yeast infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
You can continue to take azithral as advised.
However I would recommend you to use candid cream instead of candid b cream. Candid cream is the same as canestan cream.
