Is It Safe To Take Clotrimazole And Fluconazole For Balanitis?
Hello, I m a 18 yrs old male overall healthy. I used to have a prostatitis due to enterococcus faecalis which was treated with many antibiotics to no avail. However, recently I was treated with a very strong antibiotic - linezolid and the problem is gone. However, It seems that I have a balanitis left that is very hard to treat and many dermatologists cannot help me. Currently I ve been prescribed clotrimazole, fluconazole, nystatin and miconazole which have not helped at all... Please help me

Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns. You have balantitis and you are wondering how to treat it. You have tried numerous anti-fungals and none have helped. I may recommend actually using hydrocortisone cream once daily and see if that reduces the redness. Otherwise I have no other optional treatments for you
