I noticed a red area on my penis. No itching, no pain
It must have grown for months.
Saw my Primary Dr. He prescribed Lamisil. Didn't work
Went to a urologist, prescribed Mycoloc. Didn't do much
What can I do next. Red area is still the same size.
Hello,
For fungal infection of the penis, most cases of fungal infection respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole.You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients. Some of them are Lamisil, Monistat derm, Mycelex, and Nizoral.
If the symptoms persist then you may need oral antifungals for which I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist. 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.
