Posted on Tue, 16 Feb 2016

Question: My friend had sexual intercourse with a girl and after that he developed more white secretions over the glans and underneath the fore skin. It was cheesy. Little bit itching present. He used ciprofloxacin and tinidazole combination for five days. But no improvement. What it could be?

Brief Answer:
Seems to have developed candidal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
According to your complaints your friend seems to have developed candidal infection of the foreskin and glans.
It is a yeast infection which can be transmitted sexually.
If I were your friend's treating doctor I would recommend him to apply clotrimazole cream on the affected areas twice daily for 2 weeks.
For itching I would suggest him to take antihistaminics like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg daily at bedtime.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to clarify any further doubts.
Regards
Dr Asmeet

Brief Answer:
Apply clotrimazole cream, else upload the photographs

Detailed Answer:
Candidal infection normally responds to tablet fluconazole 150 mg but I would still recommend you to apply clotrimazole cream on the affected areas and see the response.
Otherwise you can upload the photographs of the rash so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition.
