Which Is The Best Way To Clean My Penis?

HI DOC,

please help. My penis has a fishy odour when I pull the foreskin back. I can see some bacteria on it and I believe this is causing the bad odour. I wash it with soap twice a day but I can see its still not 100 percent clean.

What anti bacterial creams can I use? What is the best way to clean the penis?

Thank you

Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

I would suggest you the following which will definitely help relieve the fungal Balanoposthitis

1. Hot Seitz bath: Add a handful of salt in a small tub of warm water. Sit in it for 15-20 minutes, before taking bath. Pull back the skin gently and clean the whitish secretion known as smegma. Repeat it twice a day. take a good bath after it
2. Rule out Diabetis mellitus by getting Blood sugar level done.

3. dry the skin well after hot bath__ Apply mixture of Betamethasone and Clotrimazole ointment over the glans after pulling back the prpuce. Replace the prepuce to its normal position after thoroughly applying the ointment

4. Good personal Hygeine and maintaining area clean and dry especially after voiding
3
