Suggest Treatment For Red Rashes On The Penis

Hi I was under treatment for ecoli url since 20th Sep this year. During the treatment there were some reddish rashes in the penis and under the foreskin which dissappeared during my hospitalization and after being discharged I ve been on oral medication for uti. Around 15 days back the reddness increased and some cuts and sores were visible on the penis. I visited a dermatologist and was given antifungal and a few creams to apply. The condition eased out and I was looking ok till last Saturday the penis area inflamed again. I was then advised to take flucanazole tablets and stop all cream. There was whitish greenish discharge during these times which is very less now but the overall condition of the penis and foreskin area is full of open sores and cuts. Pls advise

Hello dear,
Hello dear
Understand your concern
It could be due to
Balanitis: inflammation of the penis, caused by poor hygiene, especially insufficient washing under the foreskin area.
Thrush, skin sensitivity or allergy to a product used on the penis (such as soap or lubrication)

Take following advice:
Continue fluconazole tablet as per doctor advise.
Change to a simple, unperfumed soap.
Alternatively, buy ‘aqueous cream’ from a pharmacy and use it as body-wash cream (i.e. apply a small amount and rinse off).
Put two handfuls of salt in the bath, but no other additives
Do not use ‘biological’ or ‘enzyme’ powders when washing your underpants
Showering after a workout, changing underwear, using a clean towel to dry off with and not redressing until the area is completely dry
Use formulated penis vitamin formula- Man 1 Man Oil-contain:
with vitamins, minerals and shea butter- it moisturizes the skin and prevents flaking or cracked skin while revitalizing and enhancing the sensitivity of the penis

Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
