Homoeopathic medicines do not have side effects due to inherent principal behind this system of medicine. Please be informed. If you have an acid, the Allopathic doctors prescribe a base which reacts with the acid to form salt and water. Which salt will be the by-product, depends on the acid and the base, administered. Our kidney has selective absorption. If the salt prepared is not in the list of substances absorbed, then the salt will remain in the body something which has no function in the body will only create problems. This is why all Allopathic medicines have side effects. But Homeopathic medcinal system believes: Similia Similibus Curenter. This is why, to overcome an acid condition, we prescribe acid. Thanks for giving time to read it.

Dear jobbs 6, This is a normal problem with diabetic persons to have itching in private parts. Dont worry ! Here is sure treatment. Take ointment called IMIDIL- 30 gms and FUBECED - 30 gms, add one teaspoon of olive oil and few drops of sun screen lotions. Mix these very well and keep in a airtight container. I keep this in my bathroom. After your bath, lower your skin, than dry it with soft cloth and apply evenly around your bulb. Repeat same before you go to sleep. Hope you will be cured. This cream can be used for any itching in any part of body. Best of cure....

I have also face the same kind of problem during my initial days when diabetes is detected. In fact, it was clear indication of my diabetes when I visited to skin specialist. Doctor had advised me to cure diabetes first and later it was cure itself. However, sometimes still I found red spot rashes on the tip of penis due to alteration in Blood Sugar. BS control is the only effective way to get rid off this.

Control your BS level & continue to maintain it.

A very wrong notion prevails in the mind of any diabetic patient that any problem connected with penis is on account of disease. Please remove this kind of thought from the mind. This disease does cause sexual and intercourse problems. I would advise you to please visit a Skin Specialist and don't use any ointment, etc except suggested by Medical Specialist.

This a very common phenomenon for Diabetics Patients. First try to get control over your BS, consulting your physician have the testing of urine culture with sensitivity, apply Bifonazole Cream 10 mg (Trade name "Mycospor") around the affected portion.

To MR jobbs6, THIis common problem for all diabetic males who who have sugar in their urine.

THERE are solutions ie.

1) IDEAL SOLUTION.- GOOD/PERFECT CONTROL OF YOUR BLOOD SUGAR all the time. Therefore no sugar in the urine and also ahealthy immune system to fight all infections. 2) Wash and dry the penis after each time you urinate and keep it dry, at all times, or at least most of the times to prevent infections from developing and settling in.. 3) The most permanant and most effective solution CIRCUMSETION---removal of the excess skin around and over the glans that is allowing entrapmpment of sugary urine and infection to develop. NA RAHEGA BAAS NA BAJEGE BAASURI.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU SIR.

PS Sir I must add that the presence of sugary urine on a frequent basis indicates poor blood sugar control. you are a young person with a long life ahead of you and if the blood sugars are not soon controlled there are likely to be many and serious and horrible complications of diabetes in store in the future.PLEASE GET GOOD/PERFECT SUGAR CONTROL A.S A.P.

don't take any medicine or ointment without consulting a competent doctor. Local application of ointment may give you temporary relief. Circumcision may give you permanent relief. anyway don't worry, go to a doctor.

Yes, it is because of increased blood sugar level. I also got the same thing and this was the only thing that lead to the diagnosis of diabetes in me.

Since it was related to skin, I contacted a dermatologist and he asked me to first get my sugar checked (by which my diabetes got diagnosed). He told me it was candida balanitis.

Firstly he told me to get my blood sugar under control and prescribed me two oinmtments to apply to the effected area twice a day, which I did and the infection went away.

Please contact a dermatologist in your town and he will be able to prescribe you some ointment for it and may be give some oral antibiotics for it also which will help it heal faster.

Please be advice do not have intercourse during this time as you can pass on the infection to your partner.

You can apply MMF-ND CREAM (Mometasone Furoate 0.1% + Nadifloxacin 1% Cream) and XTER CREAM (Terbinafine 1% Cream).

These will be available at medical stores. The name may be different.

It is very helpful.

Get your blood sugar under control and rest will be fine.

We often talk of control over BS, but i have seen the reverse path for BS by additional Hydrotherapy treatment, without discontinuation of the medicine. During the period of about one year doctor has reduced the tablet from twice a day to 1/4. But this requires regular & precise intake of Hydracious water with the support of naturopathy.

It will be better to be determined for complete cure instead of maintaining BS. You are too young & you can become non diabetic.

your condition is definitely due to sugar levels around 200 plus .Take Homeo medicines as well and control sugar levels within the normal levels and without any application of any kind of ointments the infection will disappear gradually ,and you just clean the part with water by pulling the skin up .Homeo has no side effect and can be safely used along with allopathic tablets.However I suggest you change the allopathic tablets for better control .You can use DXN caps as well if your finance permits - Dr.D.H.RAO (HOMEOPATH) [ hrao.dharmavaram@gmail.com] .
