(I also have urge to pee a lot). I have rashes on scrotum which my doctor says is fungal infection and Using lotriderm for that.

Brief Answer:
I suggest a likely possibility of Urethritis
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have taken note of your query and I have also understood your concern.
I suggest a possibility of urethritis i.e inflammation of urethra. Clear discharge and urgency are indicative of that.
Does'nt seem like herpes. Genital Herpes usually presents with sores/ erosions rather than with urethral discharge.
STI's like gonorrhea & chlamydia are common causes of urethritis. Infection is acquired by unprotected sexual contact with an infected partner.
Gonorrhea usually causes purulent discharge whereas Non-gonococcal urethritis/ chlamydia usually causes clear discharge.
Is there any history of recent sexual contact?protected or unprotected?
Regards

Yes my last sexual contact was 5 the of april, with 3 different woman but everything was protected. 15 days after my last sexual contact I had a urine test for Gonorrhea and Chlmydia but it was negative. I am dealing with rash on my scrotum for like a month now and it does not seems to getting better. I am using lotriderm for that. I am masterbating a lot these days and thats too pretty rough can it be caused by that. I only see the liquid like thing on my uretha in the morning time rest of the day its dry.
And when doctor too look at my penis there was no discharge what can I do in this type situation. I would also like to know can it be caused by lotriderm cream or excessive and rough masterbation. How can I cure it with going to doctor?

Brief Answer:
Urethral secretions could be due to sexual arousal
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
In that case, these slight amount of clear urethral secretions could also be caused by sexual arousal and therefore there is nothing to worry.

Thanks for your answers. I am using lotriderm on my scrotum for a month now but it seems like not working on the rashes. SOmetime they get better but never go away and than again become same as before. Please advise what should i apply there?
Brief Answer:
Add an Oral antifungal; antifungal dusting powder for maintenance
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
I suggest an Oral antifungal e.g once weekly fluconazole 150 mg for 4-6 weeks in addition to the topical antifungal.
I would like to change your topical antifungal to either Miconazole nitrate Or Econazole nitrate cream, twice daily for 4-6 weeks.
Thereafter, in order to prevent a recurrence you must regularly use an antifungal dusting powder, in the groin folds.

Thanks again for your answers, I feel like lotriderm is causing some irritation to my penis glans. I am using lot of it and everytime I masturbate and than put lotriderm on my scrotum I feel some kind of irritation I cant explain, its a urge to pee, sometime its burns and some kind of wired feeling. It happened last week and as well as this week again. Yesterday was worst. I also feel like it is the reason behind I am getting that kind of discharge. Please advise and thanks in advance once again.
Brief Answer:
Stop lotriderm; rather use Oral antifungals and plain topical anifungals
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
You have been using lotriderm cream for over a month.
This cream contains a potent topical steroid i.e betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% in addition to the topical antifungal i.e clotrimazole 1% cream.
Potent topical steroids such as this i.e betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% are not to be used over the delicate skin of glans and scrotum as they would cause skin thinning, and atrophy of the already delicate genital skin. Thinned out skin would look red and inflamed.
Therefore, I suggest you to discontinue this cream.
Therefore I had suggested you to use oral antifungals and plain topical antifungal cream in my previous reply.
Another reason for this feeling of irritation on glans and urgency of micturation could be that may be you are using soaps, antiseptics etc to clean the delicate skin of glans and this area.
Soaps can get through urethral meatus and cause irritation, burning, urgency.
