Suggest Treatment For Itchy E Coil Infection
Question: Hi I am 42 years old male. I had e coli. After that I am having etching on my penis with small pricks. What medicine should I take?
Brief Answer:
Antibiotics can cause fungal infections
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
Since you had E. coli infection and were on treatment for the same ,so you seem to have developed fungal infection over the penile region called candida .
People who have been on antibiotics are very prone to develop candida infection which can cause redness ,itching along with whitish discharge .
You need to apply a topical anti fungal cream called canestan cream over the affected area twice a day for atleast ten days .
Keep the affected area clean and dry.
I am sure the infection will heal with treatment .
