Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to XXXXXXX

I can understand your concern for fungal infection at your penile site. It is quite common to find fungal infection in diabetics due to excess of sugar which is a growing medial for fungus. Till the time your sugar is not controlled you may get recurrent infection of fungus.

Both Surfaz as well as Salicure are not the ideal or main treatment for fungus. Surfaz contains steroid in it which actually only suppress the infection for sometime and then the infection rebounds more severely. I doubt especially for Salicure because it is never prescribed in fungal infection.

I can see the recently uploaded picture. It appears to be genital warts rather than fungal infection. In genital warts Salicure is used as main treatment. I suggest you to XXXXXXX your dermatologist and ask for the thing that whether he/she has given it for warts or for fungal infection. Your dermatologist will definitely guide you for the possibility of warts in yourself. These are completely curable thing and are a routinely encountered entity in our day to day practice.


For you fungal infection kindly stop using Surfaz as the steroid can make the situation worsened. Rather than that you should use plane “Sertaconzole cream” or “Ketocaonazole cream” or CLotrimazole cream” in a very thin layer. Maintain a good hygiene by washing the area twice in day. Most importantly control your sugar as it is the mainstay of your treatment part.

Wish you good health

Brief Answer:
Salicure is ideal treatment for warts

Detailed Answer:
Dear young fellow,

Welcome to the forum again.

So as I predicted from the picture as well as mode of treatment the main problem is of genital warts which is confirmed by your dermatologist too.

As I mentioned before, Salicaure can be used as a part of treatment for warts. You should know that a single medication can be used for mutiple purpose. So for this Any how the main part of the treatment in warts is to cauterize or burn them. This can be done medically as well by radio-frequency machines too. It is always better to use medical treatment first. Your doctor has very rightly prescribed the medication. This contains salicylic acid 6% which will burn the warts and help in removing them. It is good medicine for warts but is to be used ery safely in a ery thin layer. Apply Vaseline petroleum gelly on the normal skin so that it should not burn the normal area. Ask your doctor for the ideal time duration.

Avoid sexual contact till the warts are healed or you can use condoms as best protective method for you and your partner. Just see your partner also if she has these lesions because these are most commonly spread by sexual contact form the partner only.

This is really good that you understood the side effects of Surfaz. You can use the sertaconazole or ketoconazole cream in a very thin layer so that it should not be visible to the naked eye. Remove the excess of cream by cotton if visible by naked eye. Kinldy keep your sugar status controlled.

I hope I addressed your queries, if you have any further queries I will be happy to help.

Wish you good health
