I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my hips for the past two years, and it's getting unbearable. It hurts a lot and the itching is intense, sometimes even causing bleeding when I itch. I've been treating it for two years, but the moment I stop the medication, it comes back. I can't even get a good night's sleep because of it. Can you please help me figure out what to do?

Lulican cream for local application for atleast 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

Hey, I'm kind of worried because the skin on the head of my penis is peeling and it's getting red. I'm not sure what to do about it. If anyone has any advice or suggestions, it'd be really helpful.

You may be experiencing symptoms of balanitis, which is inflammation of the head of the penis. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day on the affected area after gently cleaning it with warm water. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding irritants such as harsh soaps, and wearing loose-fitting underwear can help with the healing process. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
