Suggest Treatment For Rashes And Redness On Penile Shaft While On Fucidin And Lotriderm

Posted on Mon, 8 Feb 2016

Question: Hi. I recently been to three separate doctors and they all said that I have yeast infection (rash) on my penis shaft (folded skin as I am uncircumcised) and on the edge of my penis head. The rash used to be have a few bumps and was fire red but it now seems to be turning smooth and darker with still some minor red spots. I was prescribed lotriderm and fucidin to apply 2X for 7 days. I have also made sure to keep the area clean and dry after taking washing it with warm water which I do 2X a day. I'm currently on my 3rd day and was wondering how long will it take for the rash to disappear? Do I need to be alarmed and see a urologist or am I worrying too much?
