What are the signs and symptoms of a penile fungal/thrush infection and if i had one would using clotrimozole 2 times daily for 2 weeks had madebetter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer: Fungal infections of penis primarily occur in uncircumcised men and affect the head of the penis and foreskin (balanoposthitis). More common in diabetics, primarily because fungi grow best in moist environments with sugar. Symptoms: redness, swelling, soreness, whitish discharge, and splitting of foreskin. Treatment: proper hygiene, antifungal cream (e.g. Clotrimazole), or oral med (fluconazole).
