How To Treat Allergic Reaction On Penis?

My husband again is having a severe allergic reaction on his penis between fingers neck after cystoscopy. He had 500mg of Cipro but only took 2 because of itching and red patches. Penis seems to be getting worse. It is red raw skin bleeding using triple antibiotic ointment. Burns a little when applied. Anything else he can do. I also gave him Benadryl

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Your husband requires physical examination to make proper diagnosis and to take adequate treatment. As your husband is having these symptoms it can be due to bacterial infection, fungal infection and allergic manifestations.

As he is having the symptoms of itching and redness it may be a fungal infection. He require lab investigations like CBC, blood culture and KOH mount for fungal infection.

He need to keep the area clean and dry, topical anti fungal cream and systemic anti fungal drug like tab Diflucan.
Thank you.
