Question 2

I'm really worried about how frequently I've been masturbating and if that's a reason I ended up with candidal balanoposthitis. Do you think cutting back on masturbation could help fix this problem?

Accepted Answer

Masturbation itself is unlikely to directly cause candidal balanoposthitis. However, excessive masturbation can contribute to the development of this condition indirectly:

_Friction and irritation_: Frequent masturbation can cause friction, leading to irritation and micro-tears in the skin. This can create an environment conducive to Candida overgrowth.

_Moisture accumulation_: Masturbation can lead to increased moisture in the genital area, which can contribute to Candida growth.

_Imbalanced skin pH_: Frequent masturbation can disrupt the natural skin pH, creating an environment that fosters Candida growth.

Limiting masturbation may help alleviate some contributing factors, but it is unlikely to cure candidal balanoposthitis on its own. Treatment typically involves:

_Antifungal medications_: Topical or oral antifungals to address the Candida infection.
_Good genital hygiene_: Keeping the area clean and dry.
_Avoiding irritants_: Reducing friction and avoiding harsh soaps or products.

Question 3

I'm a bit worried because I've been noticing some fungal infection around my penis and thighs. It's kind of like a dad type rash. I've heard about Medisalic and Fungicros cream, do you think they would work for this kind of genital fungi?

Accepted Answer

If you use medisalic or fungicross, it will cause serious and permanent damage to the skin. You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like medisalic, fungicross, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams
