I'm dealing with a penile yeast infection that's been lingering for about a month. I saw a skin doctor who prescribed itraconazole capsules and propyzone nf cream initially, then ibisert cream afterward. Even after finishing the medication, I'm still experiencing itching inside the head and neck of my penis, which can be quite embarrassing, though there's no visible fungus anymore. Can you offer any advice on how I might be able to fully get rid of this?

Specific medicine required...You are suffering from candidiasis balanitis.. Medicine available for good improvement......As the treatment varies depending on the severity.

I'm trying to figure out how to gradually stop using Melacare cream because I'm experiencing some side effects like dry skin and facial hair growth. I'm also looking for a recommendation on a different fairness cream that won't cause these issues. Can you help me out with this?

To stop using Melacare cream without losing fairness: *Tapering Off Melacare Cream* 1. *Gradual reduction*: Reduce the frequency of application over 2-4 weeks (e.g., from daily to every other day, then to twice a week). 2. *Dilute the cream*: Mix Melacare cream with a moisturizer (1:1 ratio) to reduce its potency. 3. *Replace with a moisturizer*: Once you've tapered off Melacare, switch to a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer. *Alternative Fairness Creams* 1. *Kojic acid-based creams*: Kojivit, Kojic acid cream, or La Roche-Posay Mela-D Pigment Control. 2. *Niacinamide-based creams*: Olay Regenerist, Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair, or Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster. 3. *Vitamin C-based creams*: Olay Vitamin C, Neutrogena Vitamin C, or Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare C+ Collagen Brighten and Firm Serum. *Addressing Side Effects* 1. *Dry skin*: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer. 2. *Facial hair growth*: Consider waxing, threading, or consulting a dermatologist for hair reduction treatments. Consult a dermatologist before starting any new skincare products to ensure they suit your skin type and concerns.
