What Causes Candida Balanitis Despite Taking Zocon?

Sir, I am suffering from Candida Balanitis since last three years. Started at Penis Glans and reacquiring in 4 to 6 months cycle. Now facing dandruff type flakes in ear internal edge as well as between thighs & scrotal sack. I applied same cream (clotrimazole) on it and problem solved. Since last few months I also started facing tongue infection (rashes and white tongue surface), which again indicates Candida problem. Recently started facing too much bloating another sign that Candida overgrowth. My age is 51 yrs and weight 83 kgs and height 178 Cms. I am taking Zocon 150 once in 4months period. Any further guidance for cure self, please guide me for right treatment.

Hello dear,
Understand your cause

Following are the cause of your problem
1. Hygiene problem: If you not wash penis area, segma that is deposited under fore skin irritate penile area and produce reaction
2. Balanitis: inflammation of the penis,
caused by poor hygiene, especially insufficient washing under the foreskin area.
Thrush, psoriasis, skin sensitivity or allergy to a product used on the penis (such as soap or lubrication)
3. overuse - as in too frequent, too long or too rough sexual activity
4. Fungal infection: in warm enviorment.

Take following advice:
1.Change to a simple, unperfumed soap.
2.Alternatively, buy ‘aqueous cream’ from a pharmacy and use it as body-wash cream (i.e. apply a small amount and rinse off).
3. Put two handfuls of salt in the bath, but no other additives
4. Do not use ‘biological’ or ‘enzyme’ powders when washing your underpants
5. Showering after a workout, changing underwear, using a clean towel to dry off with and not redressing until the area is completely dry
6. Use ormulated penis vitamin formula- Man 1 Man Oil-contain:
with vitamins, minerals and shea butter- it moisturizes the skin and prevents flaking or cracked skin while revitalizing and enhancing the sensitivity of the penis
7. Apply anti fungal clotrimazole cream if severe or not resolved.

You can continue tablet zacon 150 mg once a day for 10-14 days
If not resolved
Consult the deramatologist.
Take the scabs from discharge and urethra
Do the test for other infection like, chlymadia/gonorrhea


Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
