Fungal infection of penile region

Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
Development of fissures or cuts in the foreskin is an indication of a fungal infection called candida.
Keep the affected area clean and dry.
Wash the affected area with lukewarm saline water twice daily.
Apply a topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream over the area twice daily for atleast two weeks for complete healing .
Do not apply any other cream or oil over the affected area.
Hope it helps
