Question

I'm a bit concerned about my baby's digestion since I started giving them powdered milk. Is it normal for infants to have digestive issues with it? I've been using Lactogen 1, and I'm unsure if that's the best choice. Could you share some advice or solutions for these digestion problems?

Treatment and cure:_ 1. _Antifungal creams_: Continue using the prescribed fungal cream, as balanitis is often caused by fungal infections like candida. 2. _Good hygiene_: Practice good genital hygiene, including gentle cleaning with soap and water, to prevent bacterial or fungal growth. 3. _Topical steroids_: Your doctor may prescribe topical steroids to reduce inflammation and itching. 4. _Antibiotics_: If the infection is bacterial, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics. _Scars on the foreskin:_ 1. _Fungal infections can cause scarring_: Repeated fungal infections can lead to scarring on the foreskin. 2. _Circumcision may be recommended_: In severe cases, circumcision may be recommended to prevent future infections and scarring. _Why it's not yet fixed:_ 1. _Inadequate treatment duration_: 15 days might not be enough to fully clear the infection. 2. _Insufficient hygiene practices_: Make sure to practice good genital hygiene to prevent re-infection. 3. _Underlying conditions_: Certain conditions, such as diabetes or immune system disorders, can increase the risk of recurring balanitis.
