Hello, Sir
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I can certainly understand your concern.
I have worked through your query in detail.
As per your symptoms, the possibility of chronic fungal infection ( Balanitis) is very high. This will not resolve with fusidic acid cream. It's important to consider oral antifungal therapy for two weeks for complete resolution of symptoms. Likewise a circumcision procedure is extremely important in your case to prevent such further infection episodes or subsequent complications. It's advisable to maintain your blood sugar levels within normal limits. Likewise expert opinion from a general surgeon or a urologist is advisable.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these medications to you.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
