Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Balanitits has wide etiology which includes bacterial, fungal, parasitic and others.

So you may be having any one of the above condition.

The cream you are applying daktacort is steroid and anti fungal drugs. So it will only affects if the infection is caused by fungus.

I suspect your infection has different etiology so you are not getting cured by the cream.

I advice you should visit near by doctors to diagnose and treated accordingly.

Please maintains good hygiene locally by frequent cleaning at local site.

Avoid sexual intetcourse until you are all cured. Or you can use condom to prevent cross infection.

Use only cotton undergarments, it will help in infection condition.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
