Does anyone know what causes dark horizontal stripes on your penis? It doesn't hurt at all, just a bit disconcerting.
Please advise..
I have the same problems but I'm circumcised
Hello Doctor,
It has been 2 weeks of using lotrimin AF...Overall it was a success to an extent, however the grooves and nicks still appear, however they never appeared during the treatment...could they be due to the long showers I usually take with very hot water?
Hello,
Lotrimin ultra can be used for a variety of fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch. This is not used for nail fungal infections can be used for fungal infection of the groin. But it is advisable to use it under a dermatologist’s guidance.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
I haven't checked this post in some time and recently got your answer. I went to the store today and found that there is Lotrimin AF and Lotrimin Ultra, the ultra says not to use for Vaginal yeast infection; AF says nothing of the sort, should I buy the more powerful Ultra or the AF?
Thank-you again.
Hello,
Yes you can wash it with Aveeno but make sure that you use the antimicrobials which have been suggested. It is also important to keep the area clean.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Thankyou for the help,
Before you answered my question I've been using some tea tree oil drops in water to wash, also I wash my penis with Aveeno. Should I continue with these?
Thankyou
Hello,
This can be due to penile yeast infection. Please don’t use any cosmetics on the penis, instead use some topical antimicrobials like Bacitracin or Lotrimin. Also corticosteroids 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 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.
And to add, after I shower I feel that it looks fine, but after 12 hours It is pale and shiny and slightly wet, but also nocks and small small craters are more visible and its bluish/gray and there are some spots that seem like nicks tht are slighly bluish gray with a little darkness, but when I shower, it is fine.
