Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi... Recently I noticed that I had pates on my penis shaft. I noticed that the skin was peeling off . although I keep the area very clean, I notice that this keeps coming back. There was a time when I used BETNOVATE C ointment for this and it stopped the infection partially. But now the infection is back again and it is getting itchier every day. Also I am scared. What do I do? Please help.

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to fungal infection and dryness. If you were my patient in such case i would recommend using ointments with combination of antifungal like miconazole and corticosteroid like flucinolone for local application. It is also better to avoid soaps and irritants to wash the genital area and instead you can use saline or warm water. Hypo allergic soaps like cetaphil also can be used. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
