I'm dealing with phimosis and wondering if surgery is the only solution or if there are other effective ways to treat it. What would you recommend for managing this condition?
Phimosis, where the foreskin cannot be retracted, can be managed with both non-surgical and surgical approaches. Non-surgical options include topical steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, and good hygiene practices. Surgery, such as circumcision or preputioplasty, may be considered for more severe cases or if non-surgical treatments fail.

I'm really struggling with balanitis, and I've tried clotrimazole, ketoconazole, and onabet without much success. Do you have any other suggestions or treatments that might be more effective? I'm concerned nothing is working, and I could really use some help on what to try next.
For balanitis that is not responding to clotrimazole, ketoconazole, or onabet, you can try using Terbinafine cream. Apply Terbinafine cream twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid any potential irritants.
