What Causes White Discharge From Under Foreskin And Burning Itchiness In Genitals?
since i was perscribed batrim from a doctor for what was originally said to be a bladder infection. after taking the antibiotics for a couple of days the skin around the head of my penis started to swell along with the head itself. i had gone through this years ago and was told it was a side effect of the antibiotics and that i had a male yeast infection. i also felt very itchy from the bactrim on my hands feet and genitals. i returned to the doctor telling him of the past and present incident and he told me he thought i had herpies even though iv read that antibiotics would not cause herpies to appear. i have now missed a week of work and am not any better and can not work with this painful condition. please help. should i be worried i have herpies? this has only happened after taking antibiotics and it is very painful and doesnt go away easy. the last time i took the natural cure route and used plain non fat yogurt to cure the symptoms because i was scared of taking any other medicines. my symptoms as of now are white creamy discharge around the head of my penis under the foreskin. dry cracky skin on the head. itchy burny feeling in the genital area not so much in my hands and feet any more. and its burning when i pee i think because the discharge closes up the pee hole. i really hope its not an std but im thinking its not because its only occurred after taking antibiotics for a short period.
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. It appears by the description given by you that you have severe urinary tract infection. It has not responded so well to medications taken earlier. Hence, kindly get your urine tested for culture and sensitivity. Once you know which antibiotic is sensitive, kindly take proper course of that antibiotic. In the mean time, drink enough fluids and particularly citrus fruit juice. Hope the information provided would be helpful. Wish you all the best.
