Do you have any discharge from the urethra or turbid urine? No
Have you had unprotected sexual intercouse with someone else or engaged in any risky sexual practices? I had unprotected sex with a girl I dated briefly. She is a Registered Nurse. Had vaginal and oral sex.

Hello again and thanks for writing in.
I have gone through your details. Now, you seem to have an infection which has not responded to three courses of antibiotics, a course of anti-fungals and topical applications. In this case the best way forward is to get a swab / scraping test done for microscopic examination to determine the exact organism causing the infection. This will tell you clearly if it is a fungal infection or a bacterial infection, and what the organism is causing it. A further culture and antibiotic sensitivity test will be able to determine which antibiotics will be effective against the organism.
The other possibility is that there could be an underlying immunity deficiency which may be resulting in the non-healing infection.So, I would also suggest that you have a proper medical evaluation and recheck your blood sugar also.
You can try washing the area thrice or four times a day with dilute potassium permanganate solution for symptomatic relief.
So, my advise to you would be to consult a dermatologist for the swab / scraping tests and culture / sensitivity tests in order to clearly establish the cause of your problem and then take the appropriate treatment. Empirically taking further courses of antibiotics or other medication without clarifying this is unlikely to help.
Wish you all the best.

After one week of Fluconizole I'm seeing improvement. The redness is going away and the irritation is becoming less. The doctor I'm seeing has prescribe an additional week of the Fluconizole with a regiment of 100mg. Twice daily for another 7 days. Earliest availability with a dermatologist is Nov. 29.
Could it be that the yeast is tough to get rid of due to the fact that I've had it for 4 months? Simply a tough bout and is going to take time?

Hello again and thanks for writing in.
It's good to hear that your symptoms are improving. It is quite likely that the fungal infection is just taking more time to get eradicated, especially since it's been there for 4 months and since you had previously been on weeks of antibiotics predominantly (which wouldn't have touched the fungal infection). There are some tough fungal infections which may not respond to topical antifungals and may need a a longer duration of oral anti-fungal medication also.
So, I would advise you to continue the Fluconazole for another week and then review with your doctor again.
Wish you all the best.
