Question 1

I've been dealing with a cracked foreskin because of a fungal infection, and I'm really worried about it. I've tried using Betamil GM ointment, but I haven't seen any improvement. Could you suggest the best medication or treatment for this issue? I'm kind of at a loss here and really need some guidance.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing inflammation or irritation in the foreskin, which can cause discomfort.
