Sore and burning itchy under my penis shaft and scrotum for many years, it's dry and flaky skin comes off when scratching it.
I have tried with number of medications.
E45 cream and Canesten Hydrocortisone Cream 30G.
I showed it number of doctors and they prescribed number of creams and never worked.
Finally, one of the doctor told me it's likely a Psoriasis and I was prescribed with Lotriderm cream (betamethasone, clotrimazole) - it's prescription only.
It worked! Now, it's all gone! Thank god!

It went away by just keeping the foreskin retracted, clean and dry, and giving it time. I didn't use any antibiotics or any creams, and I'm definitely glad I didn't use corticosteroids. But thanks for the advice.
Hello,
It can be due to contact dermatitis or balanitis. Oral course of antibiotics is needed. In addition, don’t use any cosmetics on the penis, instead use some topical antimicrobials like Bacitracin or Lotrimin. Also corticosteroids and topical immunosuppressants can be used but they are available under prescription. Also retract the foreskin daily and soak in warm water to clean penis and foreskin. In case the symptoms persist then consult a urologist/dermatologist for evaluation and antimicrobials and steroids prescription.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Thanks man, glad to hear you're good now. I'm almost OK myself, I give it a couple days before it's good to go.
yea keep the foreskin retracted and dry it with a fan after a shower. Also dilute 2 teaspoons of white vinegar in a glass of water and soak your penis in for a couple of minutes, this was recommended to me by a doctor. I heard plain yoghourt is also a good home remedy. I tried everything, but unfortunately nothing worked, not even all kind of medications given to me by doctors. I ended up having a circumsicion and everything cleared after 1.5 years suffering with recurrent balanitis. I hope you feel better and heal soon.
Thanks, I appreciate your opinion. I'll try that Neosporine cream I've read about, see if it helps. It's actually almost gone, just by keeping the foreskin back and the area dry.
Sorry I'm not a doctor I just told you my opinion
