Hello doc, I am from India and Betnovate which is a corticosteroid is easily available OTC in India. I have lost sensation in my penis. I have no lack in desire and no problems with erections, but I cannot feel my penis. I searched the internet and they told me it can be from thickening of the skin from overuse and I can see my skin thick too. Someone told me to use some good oil with vitamins in it. My question is can I use corticosteroid on it and if yes how much and for how many times, days, etc.

Hello,
The skin thinning can be due to usage of steroid creams. I cannot confirm without examination but the symptoms that you are having can be due to balanitis of the penis.It is an inflammation of the glans penis. 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.
