I've noticed some white spots around the circumference of the head of my penis. They don't itch, but I've been having itchy areas on my thighs, groin, and testicles. I saw a dermatologist, and they prescribed Keto B cream and Incid MD tablets. It's been two weeks, and the itchy areas have improved, but the white spots on the glans haven't changed. What could this be? Should I be worried?

The white area on the glans of the penis may be due to a fungal infection, such as candidiasis. To treat this, you can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area for about 2-4 weeks. In addition, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any potential irritants. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit confused about how to use the Ekran soft gel. Do I need to be in the sun after applying it, or is that not necessary? Also, should I only put it on the affected area or spread it across my whole face?

To use Ekran Soft Gel, you should apply it evenly to the affected area of the skin. There is no need to expose the skin to the sun after applying this gel. Just make sure to apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area and gently massage it in. It is not necessary to apply it to the entire face unless directed by your doctor.
