Dear Doctor, I am a 27 years old male and was diagnosed with Plasma Cell Balanitis when I was 22. Dermatologist prescribed me a water based steriod cream which worked fine and I was free of balanitis within a week. The doctor however asked me to practice good hygiene which I ignored for a very long time. A month before I noticed that the balanits has recurred and now over a wider area. I went to see a GUM clinic doctor this time and he prescribed me Trimovate Cream (0.5 mg clobetasone and nystatin). Within 2-3 weeks time, the flare up was completely gone and the size of the red spot is also decreasing. I was advised to use it for six weeks- i.e. another 2 weeks for that. But I don t think it will clear up the spot completely by the end of six weeks. Are there any other creams which are more effective than Trimovate and which will work faster against balantis? If Trimovate is the best, how long should I use it? I don t want to have a circumcision. Will my sex life be affected due this condition? I am practicing a very good hygiene- washing the glans twice a day and apply the cream after completely drying the glans.
