Suggest Antifungal Creams For Balanitis
Question: I have balantis and need some cream. What cream would you recommend and how much do I use?
Brief Answer:
an anti fungal and anti bacterial cream
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Balantis would normally be fungal or bacterial infection or a mixture of both, fungal being the most common.
You should try an anti fungal cream such as miconazole (brand names zeasorb, micatin,conazol) , econazole (spectazole) or ketoconazole (nizoral), clotrimazole (mycelex) .
One of these can be used and applied twice daily.
An antibacterial cream can be used along with this in case there is also a bacterial infection, eg- neosporin, bactroban, polysporin, fucidin.
Also used twice daily, can be used at the same time.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
