I've been dealing with this itchiness and discomfort when swallowing for the past three months, and I've also noticed a white cream-like substance on the top of my penis. I started using Candid B cream on it and have taken some tablets and capsules, but I'm not sure if it's helping. Could this be something serious, and is there anything else I should try or be worried about?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a fungal infection, which is common in such areas. The use of Candid-B cream could help, but if the condition persists, its important to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and possibly a more targeted treatment plan. Keeping the area dry and clean is also crucial for healing.

I'm dealing with psoriasis for the last 6 years and haven't found anything to help cure it. My dermatologist mentioned that if I choose allopathy, I'll have to take meds forever, so I'm sticking with homeopathy. I'm curious if it's okay for me to use tulsi immunity booster in my situation. Any advice would be helpful.
