I am diabetic on insugen 30/70 refill injection, glycomet gp2, ppg 0.3 mg and other drugs. I am also hypertensive on ramipril 5 mg and amlodipine 5 mg. Since last 15 days there is severe itching on the upper side of my penis. I tried previously used creams such as terbinafine (fungotek, fdc). This proved useless. Then I tried mupirocin (t-bact), which is also proved useless. The irritation is just as it is. Please advice what is the correct skin cream and tablets.

Sir please check your sugars may b because of uncontrolled sugar tou have developed fungal infection (balanitis) we can treat it by a course of antifungal tablet for 3 days and antifungal cream for local application but once sugar is under control infection will also settle and will not reappear. If sugar is not controlled we will have to modify your medicines with more safer medicines according to your age and try getting rid of insulin.
