Hi,

It seems that most probably you may be having candidal balanoposthitis. It is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. Poor hygiene and poor immunity may be the responsible. You consult dermatologist to have firm diagnosis and perfect treatment. And internal diseases like DM,HIV and other should be ruled out.

I would suggest to take antifungal tab like ketoconazole twice a day for two weeks along with antibiotics like cefixime 200 mg twice a day for 5 days to eradicate secondary bactetial infection. Apply antifungal cream like clotrimazole and have Sitz bath in dettol water for 10 min. daily at bath.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.
