I'm dealing with a condition called balanitis, and it's been going on for quite a while now. Could you suggest any creams or tablets that might help?

Hi there i understand your concern regarding your genital health...The main cause of balanitis is poor hygiene. Poor hygiene causes harmful bacteria to overpopulate the area, which can lead to infection...it can be fungal as well... Clinical examination is necessary to diagnose it and to rule out other possible conditions....you may require antibiotic or antifungal creams..Before applying any treatment option, it is important to avoid using irritants such as perfumed soap, lotion, or powder. This prevents further irritation of the foreskin...Consult nearest dermatologist they will do the needful.

I accidentally sprayed Moov on my leg for muscle pain, but some of it got on my testicle. Could this be harmful, or could it cause an allergic reaction there? I'm really worried about any possible side effects.

I've been having this weird vibration feeling at the tip of my penis since yesterday and sometimes there's this inflammation after peeing. Not too long ago, I was treated for a burning sensation during urination and I took some antibiotics like ceftum and cefixime, but they haven't helped much yet. I've also been feeling some pain in my lower abdomen and back. What do you think I should do?

You may be experiencing symptoms of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. I recommend you start taking a combination of antibiotics such as "Doxycycline" along with "Metronidazole" under the guidance of a specialist. Additionally, you can take "Ibuprofen" 400mg three times a day for pain relief. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the infection. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
