I have an itchy rash with small red swellings on my penis. I used TAF GM cream, but the symptoms returned after one week. What is the correct medication or permanent treatment to cure this and prevent it from recurring?
This is a common and highly treatable condition, likely balanitis (inflammation of the glans). The TAF GM cream you used contains a strong steroid, which temporarily reduces swelling but can cause symptoms to rebound or worsen infections once stopped. Please stop using it. To cure this permanently, a doctor should examine you to identify the exact cause (usually fungal or allergic). Treatment typically involves targeted generic creams, like clotrimazole, rather than combination steroid creams. For prevention: wash daily with warm water only (avoid harsh soaps), dry the area thoroughly but gently, and wear loose cotton underwear. Please consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and prescription.
