Hi, im getting a burning sensation after applying clotrimazole 1% cream on my penis for fungal infection. why is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably the skin inflamed by the fungus is more sensitive than normal skin. If not severe, keep using it; burning should become less prominent as the rash gets better from the treatment. If it's severe, stop using it and discuss with the doctor who prescribed it.
