I am 52 years male, have history of depression & anxiety but my query is about skin condition, I developed balanitis when I was taking many psychiatric medicines, it is there with me for 3 years though now I have stopped all psychiatric medicines, foreskin is stuck to penis head, tip of the glans has red glistening patch on both sides & also little bit at the edge of the glans, foreskin stuck to penis also has distinct reddish tinge, wife has no skin problem. I tried fluconazole 150, candida & such ointments but did not wok, tried homoeopathy, nothing, used ayurvedic oils, they did help in pulling back the skin to some extent but not completely & very slowly, finally, now I am trying tacrolimus 0.1 ointment now for more than 2 weeks & I am seeing further improvement, redness is there but slightly dull, skin is coming down further, now my query is, there is white discharge coming from a small opening near glans edge on foreskin, this is an old issue though, i.e. White discharge, can I use any antibacterial ointment for that? And which one? Can I use antibacterial ointment along with tacrolimus? I also have a bad throat, what oral antibiotic should I take for that & which should I avoid with tacrolimus? Have done tests for diabetes, fasting, pp & random & blood ketone & they all have come negative. Thanks.

Taking antibiotics is the major cause of increase incidence of fungal infections as it kills both good and bad bacteria without any difference. Homoeopathic treatment still is best. If you didn't get results then change the doctor. You can consult me at Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment.

Hello Lybrate user it's ok to go for a medication if suffering from depression and anxiety disorders. But you need to go for psychotherapy esp cbt/ rebt. This will surely give you results for long term and slowly all medications would be reduced to nil. This process takes time initially but proves to be better than only medication. Go ahead with our health package of overcoming depression.

Treatment for balanoposthitis needs to be retired properly. It will disappear subject to the intelligent treatment of the condition. I do not think you stopping psychopharmacological agents required. You can try drugfree treatment for anxiety and depression you have. Homoeopathy will not work nor Ayurveda here. Take a second opinion. Good luck.
