Brief Answer:
Anti fungal cream or oral tablets

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using "Ask a doctor"

Where is the fungal infection located?
Can you send a photo of it?

Depending on where it localized and how much spread it is you can use a local cream with ketoconazole 1 or 2% that you can find in a drugstore or oral tablets that you will need a prescription for. Also keep your immunity strong.

Meanwhile try to keep the area dry and avoid moisture.

Looking forward to your follow up question.

Brief Answer:
Ketoconazole cream 2%

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for the follow-up question.

I reviewed your report. The photo is not clear. It looks like the infection is localized on the penis. If that is the case, I would recommend using ketoconazole cream 2%, twice per day for 14 days. Use a thick layer that goes at least 2mm over the border of the ring.

Try to keep the area as dry as possible.
Use cotton underwear.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards,
Dr. Papaqako
