Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

You seem to have candidosis. It may be called candidal balanoposthitis. It is caused by Candida albicans. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. DM should be ruled out by testing the blood.You may take antifungal like itroconazole cap once a day for two weeks or ketoconazole tab once a day for two weeks. If there is itching, you take levocetirizine. Apply antifungal cream like clotrimazole or miconazole. Take a Sitz bath in dettol water. For other problems, you discuss with your dermatologist and take treatment accordingly. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
