I'm pretty sure I've got balanitis and I'm wondering if it will clear up on its own. What should I do to treat it? I'm dealing with a lot of inflammation and itching. Any tips or medicines you could recommend?
Balanitis can be uncomfortable, but it's treatable. Here's what you can do: *Self-Care* 1. *Keep the area clean*: Wash with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. *Avoid irritants*: Steer clear of harsh soaps, bubble baths, and tight clothing. 3. *Pat dry*: Gently pat the area dry, rather than rubbing. *Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications* 1. *Hydrocortisone cream*: Reduces inflammation and itching. 2. *Antifungal creams*: If the cause is fungal (e.g., candida), use an antifungal cream like clotrimazole. *Prescription Medications (if necessary)* 1. *Antibiotics*: If the cause is bacterial. 2. *Steroid creams*:

I'm reaching out because my skin doctor diagnosed me with ringworm and suggested I use Funginil soap and cream. It's been about a month now, but the ringworm hasn't gone away. Am I on the right track with this treatment?
Ringworm can sometimes be stubborn to treat. In addition to using funginil soap and cream, I recommend adding an antifungal medication like Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) cream to your treatment regimen. Apply the Terbinafine cream twice daily for at least 2 weeks. If the ringworm persists, consult your doctor for further evaluation and possible oral antifungal medication.
