Was Advised Anti-fungal Cream For Itchy Dry Bumps On Buttock And Penis. Is This The Correct Treatment?
I have itchy dry bumps the cheek of my glutial region.am currently applying antifungal cream because about 2 months ago i had what the doctor suspected to be a fungal infection due some unclean rusty water i was using for shower.(in college).the oral antifungal medication and the ointment worked as the rushes that were on my hands soon went away.later on i developed about 4 blisters on the base of the shaft of my penis.they broke n formed an ulcer.i went back to the doctor and he gave me some antibiotics and antifungal powder to apply.they immidiately dried up and healed.what is remaining is the dry pinples about 4 on each side of my butt cheek.also about 2 small n dry,not blisters,on the side anterior side of my penis shaft and also 1,the same on the head of my penis.the ones on my butt cheek are itchy and leaving dark spots all around.am an african in kenya
