General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely balanoposthitis. This can be due to fungal and bacterial infection. In such case i would suggest combination of antifungal like terbinafine , antibacterial like ofloxacin and corticosteroid like clobetasol for local application. Lamisil has only terbinafine. If there is no improvement then a consultation with dermatologist is well appreciated.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
