A member asked:
Have had bouts of balanitis. recently went to urologist & prescribed nizoral% cream. how long should i take it for? he said 1wk. any thoughts pls?

Up to 2-3 weeks : Nizoral (ketoconazole) , an anti-fungal cream , usually improves a rash within 1-3 weeks if indeed it is used for the proper indication ( fungal or yeast skin infection).
