I've noticed a small pea-sized lump inside the shaft of my penis this morning. It's not painful, but I'm a bit concerned. I had sex last nightcould this lump be related to that? What could it possibly be?

View allI'm really struggling with balanitis, and I've tried clotrimazole, ketoconazole, and onabet without much success. Do you have any other suggestions or treatments that might be more effective? I'm concerned nothing is working, and I could really use some help on what to try next.
For balanitis that is not responding to clotrimazole, ketoconazole, or onabet, you can try using Terbinafine cream. Apply Terbinafine cream twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid any potential irritants.

I'm dealing with a recurring issue where I feel a burning sensation in my scrotum, but it's not constant. It kicks in after I've been driving for more than 30 minutes or sitting for a long time. I already talked to a dermatologist who suggested I try HH Zole ointments, but after using it for a week, I haven't seen much improvement. Could you please offer some advice?
The intermittent burning sensation in your scrotum, triggered by prolonged driving or sitting, may be due to a fungal infection, friction, or irritation; since the prescribed HH Zole ointment (an antifungal) was ineffective, consider consulting a urologist to rule out other conditions, such as epididymitis, orchitis, or a urinary tract infection, and explore alternative treatments, like antifungal oral medications, steroid creams, or lifestyle modifications, including wearing loose-fitting clothing, avoiding tight underwear, and taking regular breaks to stretch and move during long drives.
