Thanks for contacting HCM I am sorry to hear that you husband is having problems with painful penis. From your description it sounds like you husband has balantitis. This is a fungal infection of the foreskin and penis. This is frequent in men who are uncircumcised and are at greater risk with diabetes. The foreskin is a warm and moist place that allows for fungal infections. To help treat this I recommend patients start Lamisil cream. This will help reduce the swelling and splitting of the skin. If that does not help then he may need an oral antifungal like diflucan. His other problem could be prostatitis. This again is a common condition in men and will need 2-4 weeks of oral antibiotics to help treat the infection. I recommend that he seek medical attention for the oral antibiotics and antifungal treatments Hope this answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your medical concerns and questions
