Rashes, Itching On Penis Head. Relief With Synalar, Returned After Intercourse. Burning Sensation After Ciprofloxacin HCL. Cure?
I had red rash on penis head and itching, did see dermatologist and he suggested to take synalar. Red rash and itching did go with synalar. But after a month when I had intercourse, red rash and itching returned. I did see Urologist this time. Urologist prescribed Ciprofloxacin HCL 500 mg (twice a day) after performing urine test. After taking 4 tablets, burning sensation and rash increased rapidly. I have stopped taking ciprofloxacin, but i do see foreskin looks like its burnt, i cant pull foreskin (it pains a lot). My next appointment with urologist is after a week. Is there anything to reduce the burning and reduce the pain. And also to control the further deterioration

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
How old are you? Have you Diabetes?
It could be either due to Yeast infection or due to some other irritant and subsequent secondary infection with bacteria.
If it is due to yeast infection, it can be treated with anti fungal antibiotic creams and oral tablets. It can be diagnosed with easy laboratory tests. Your sex partners also have to be treated simultaneously to avoid recurrence.
Consult your dermatologist once again,he will help you in this regard.
