General & Family Physician, Dr. Nishad BN's Response
Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. If you changed the brand of condom then go back to the older one. If it is while wearing all types of condom then it can be due to latex allergy. You should avoid it for some time and see whether you are getting improvement in such case. If still there then it can be due to fungal infection or dryness and in such case ointments with combination of antifungal like miconazole and corticosteroid like flucinolone for local application will help you. Also avoid soaps and irritants to wash the genital area and instead you can use saline or warm water. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
