default
Posted on Tue, 14 May 2013
Question: Hi,
I am a type 2 Diabetic patient from Pune India.
I have been suffering from candida infection on my penis intermittently since last 3-4 years. Right now the infection is very severe and i have got cuts and bleeds from it. I want to see a good doctor to get rid of this as soon as possible. But don't know where to go, whether a skin expert or sexologist or general physician. Can you guide me on this, and if possible suggest me a good expert for this in Pune, India.

Hello
Thanks for the details.
Your sugar levels are too high and thats the reason your candida infection is not settling down. Excess sugar levels are an ideal ground for fungal infection. Your first aim shouldbbebto control your sugar levels. For that you need to contact your physician or diabetic specialist. Also strictly follow all the advises given to you. Keep a proper diet and start exercising. Unless your sugars are controlled your candida infection will be difficult to control.
Regarding your candida problem you need to visit a dermatologist and nobody other than that. You can visit dr. Tannu of pune. You can find the details on WWW.WWWW.WW
He is a nice dermatologist and can be of help to you.
Thanks and regards
Dr Srikanth Reddy
