Topical treatment can be supplemented with oral
Detailed Answer:
Thank you.
Canesten is an antifungal cream and is good for yeast infection.
The treatment would be more effective if it is combined with an oral antifungal like Flucanazole.
Though candidiasis is the commonest cause of balanitis, bacterial causes may sometimes have to be considered in resistant conditions.
Add Flucanazole 150 mg and see the response.
