Remedy Other Than Circumcision To Treat Candida Yeast Infection In Penis? Test Report Positive For Multiple Fungal Hyphae And Spores
Hi I guess I have penis candid yeast infection for last 4 years, several treatment went in vain, symptoms are : white patch in penis skin, foreskin gets cracked if trying to pull it back, white and swollen fore skin from inside. Test report says :
Skin smear :
(A) Positive for multiple fungal hyphae and spores seen in 20% KOH smear.
(B) Multiple gram positive cocci seen in gram stained smear in hpf.
Tzanck test
Negative for tzanck cells.
Please help, and recommend specific medicine to cure this. Doctor also suggested to go for circumcision but Im reluctant, if no other remedies then at last i will go for it. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
I would suggest you the following which will definitely help relieve the fungal Balanoposthitis
1. Hot Seitz bath: Add a handful of salt in a small tub of warm water. Sit in it for 15-20 minutes, before taking bath. Pull back the skin gently and clean the whitish secretion known as smegma. Repeat it twice a day. take a good bath after it
2. Rule out Diabetis mellitus by getting Blood sugar level done.
3. dry the skin well after hot bath__ Apply mixture of Betamethasone and Clotrimazole ointment over the glans after pulling back the prpuce. Replace the prepuce to its normal position after thoroughly applying the ointment
4. Good personal Hygeine and maintaining area clean and dry especially after voiding

Wishing you happy and healthy life

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
You had not mentioned your age, type sex activities, and whether you have Diabetes or not and whether you are on any medicine.
These information has relevance in the management of your candidal infection of your genital skin and glans penis.
The treatment with anti-fungal antibiotic topical cream along with oral anti-fungal antibiotics like Fulucanazole in adequate dose for adequate duration (3-4 weeks). Your sex partners have to be treated simultaneously even if they have no symptoms. Diabetes have to be controlled. Prolonged antibiotics, steroids and other immunosuppressive drugs are likely to precipitate relapse. Source of infection elsewhere in the body have to be treated. Some more conditions (rare) also can cause precipitation.
If you cover all these points you will be cured completely
