Suggest Treatment For Recurring Small Red Patches On Penis After Stopping Use Of Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream
My boyfriend thinks he has a yeast infection on his penis passed on by me as he had a yeast infection 20 years ago. It is not blisters. He says it doesn't itch at all. I used Triamcinolone Acetonide cream 0.1%. He used it as well and it does clear up the small red patch (1/4 inch diameter or so) but comes back and spreads a little more. He started with 1 small red spot and now there are 3. He only uses the medicine for 3 or 4 days until the rash disappears and several days later it comes back. He is using Miconazole 7-day now and says it is taking longer to clear up. What would be the right treatment?

Hi,
From history it seems to be having fungal infection.
Continue with Miconazole cream locally.
Go for one course of anti-fungal cream like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
This will give complete cure.
Keep local hygiene healthy.
Ok and take care.
